Pros

It's a fast paced environment where everyone is pulling together to be successful. There are multiple opportunities to grow within the company if you take responsibility for your career.

Cons

Upper management can be to far into the weeds, sometimes a good thing,sometimes not.

Pros

Good start to get your feet wet and something on a resume.

Cons

Micro-managing at its peak! There is a small group of Sales VP's who basically run the show and the politics are horrific. You're promised that if you do well you will move up (I had over my numbers in EVERY area for well over 2.5 years) but didn't move up. One of the highest VP's refuses to promote women unless he's attracted to and sleeping with them. The environment is hostile and makes you angry daily! If you NEED a job, its money but not even at a market standard. Looks good on a resume and the training is okay but after that RUN LIKE HECK!

Pros

Growing company, CEO who has drive, newly remodeled building. Lots of work

Cons

If you want to keep your job, you must not have a work-life balance. I work 65+ hours/week for the last 2 years and luckily moving up through the company. My pay doesnt get any larger, whether I work 40 or 65. There is too much to do and not enough resources. It is job security, however, if I fall behind, only I can pick up the slack. If I fall way behind, I risk losing my job. Walking through the building, people are depressed, not happy, and rarely have anything good to say about their job. The revolving door of employees on ALL levels doesnt seem to help either. I feel I am constantly trying to develop new relationships with people on a regular basis. Prior to my newer position, I had 3 bosses in 1 1/3 years. Each boss judges performance differently, and each boss exercized different leadership practices.
