Pros

Not a single one. Run!

Cons

Nothing about these people give you any insight to the industry. They have no idea what they are doing. HR lead was a former David’s bridal manager. They sourced from bottom barrel and have no idea what they are doing. Your pay is horrible. Your benefits are even worse. They just lie. Don’t waste your time.

Management doesn't do well with investigations regarding employees in leadership positions. Changes are often made that affects employees and employees are advised to adapt or leave. Commissions could be hire and are only %5 whether that be services or products.
