Pros

Some good quality people work here who truly care about the customers. The customer base is great and is always willing to offer suggestions on how to improve the product.

Cons

Poor management, low pay, low morale, no reimbursement of expenses (unheard of in this industry) Lack of support, constant criticism from management will do nothing but drive away good people. Don't work here unless you cannot find anything else, get some experience and move on as quickly as you can! You would be better off being an independent rep and carrying several educational lines. You will make much more money with 10% of the frustration.

Pros

Wonderful collaborative atmosphere where everyone was extremely helpful to me when I was first at the company. My boss was so much like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" and utilized a laissez faire leadership style with was very effective.

Cons

I can find nothing negative to report on this company.

Pros

Good people. Hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Low pay, when a coworker leaves, there is no replacement, that person's responsibilities get divided and spread out to the entire team. The President of the company, is quick to jump to unfounded rumors, scuttlebutt from "anonymous suggestion box" comments and conclusions as opposed to actual facts, and focused solely on dollars signs, his bonus and does not lead by example, despite being a former military officer. Moral has dropped at the company because management doesn't take the employees issues and concerns to heart and pay a decent livable wage.
