Pros

Benefits are good. Initial compensation is competitive.

Cons

No work life balance at all. None... trying to take vacation days is a major hassle. Poor service levels and constant cuts on production lead to huge customer service and sales issues. I routinely work 12-14 hours a day. In order to cut costs they have in the last year hired poorly qualified employees to support sales. They are in fact, terrible and lack experience which is a huge issue when relying on them for insights and analytics. Very focused on hiring younger workers...unless you are in the East there are limited opportunities to advance
