Pros

Good Pay, Great stock options. good retirement

Cons

If you like to suck up and work harder than people who get paid more and don't mind being a corporate puppet, then this is the place for you. Nepotism is very obvioius. Call center in lincolshire, not conducive to healthy work environment. Management unresponsive to complaints. Childish and abusive enviroment. HR is all powerfull entity with no checks and balances.

"Good Ol Boys Club"

Pros

Compensation is above average, however you will work 60-70 hours per week.

Cons

Very little training, coaching or support offered. If you dont fit into the Good Ol Boys Club - you are gone! Making goal does not guarantee employment. I was let go and was consistently over 100% for 8 of my 12 months of employment. Management has their vision of what good looks like. There are over a million products offered as well as 100's of solutions. Most days I felt like I was babysitting the internal and external resources to ensure my accounts were being taken care of.
