Pros

Great team environment. Interaction between the levels of the sales team allows you to feel apart of the process.

Cons

If you do your job and and are tolerable to be around its a great place to work. The cons are not worth mentioning.

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.

Pros

The remodel looks nice. There are finally bathrooms that I'm not afraid to use.

Cons

If you are not into playing political games...stay away. I was moved from one position to another to another because of "restructuring". Had my sales bouns taken away without additional compensation. If you do not promote yourself, your accomplishments will not be noticed or recognized. So toot your own horn loud and long...doesn't matter if it is real or true. My supervisor (a VP) didn't know what his empolyees duties were, so he had the department administrator compelte his portion of the departmental reviews. They were based on how much she liked you...not performance. If you don't like the smell of the septic tank...this isn't the place for you. The pumper truck is there like once a week to pump out the septic tank, I had to plug my nose on the walk from my car to the back door or gag from the smell.
