Pros

The people here are wonderful. Coming to work each day and knowing that there are a handful of really wonderful people who you can count on day in and day out to help get the big tough projects completed is a blessing.

Cons

Constant struggle from the business to make a decision. Things are changing on the fly, regardless of how IT can accommodate, and sometimes after the fact. The constant threat and worry of losing your job due to being sold is the biggest issue right now.

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
