-a high magnitude of redundant busy work. -micromanagement -sales cult of clones: one way to sell, and no other. Be prepared to drink the Koolaid. -training is tailored to mold the entry level rather than the experienced rep. -poor work-life balance. Average hours of 60+ per week with work being brought home and time taken away from personal and family life. -rewarding in the economical sense, but not a rewarding career otherwise. -young leadership with much to learn and unrealistic expectations. -numerous competitors in the industry.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
