Pros

* You can wear whatever you want... sweatpants? Sure! * Come and go as you please * Free coffee, tea, and soda

Cons

* Unorganized & too chaotic. Get ready to have 5 different managers in a year! * Very poor management structure. They have no idea how to lead/motivate a team. They also play favorites. * Awful communication structure. New processes? You will know about it 2 weeks later. * The HR Dept. is a joke. They are very unprofessional. * Negative atmosphere. * Extremely high turnaround. * Very long work hours. Be prepared to be in the office 10+ hours every day.

Pros

Schedule flexibility. Laptop, iPhone. If you get a terrible manager it is no big deal. You will get a new one in a few months. Great product that keeps getting better.

Cons

As an Outside Sales rep you are very isolated. Management sometimes forgets that they even have an outside sales staff and tailors everything for the inside reps. Very little room for advancement for outside reps although they are genuinely trying to create a career path for us. They haven't brought us in for training in almost a year, even though the product has almost completely changed. Many of us desperately want/need a refresher and simply have a need to reconnect. We have very few tools at our disposal to use in the field. Many processes are being automated with little concern for the ramifications. There are several flaws with the current comp plan and sales processes but there is no one that will stop and listen to find out why they will not work. Definitely a "burn and turn" mentality. Every month it seems as if they are trying to find another way to pay their staff less. There are many sales processes could be streamlined and are not but there is no one that will listen when you try to give suggestions. It never goes past your DSM. Inside and outside reps need to work together, however due to the boiler room mentality we are often pitted against each other.

Pros

the environment is fun, if you are looking to party all the time. the office is right before the loop so its easy to get to.

Cons

they work you to the bone. sell a product that doesnt work. and the managers are young and immature towards employees. there is no security, as well as no consistancy.
