Pros

Encourages at least 40 hours of training per year by providing online learning modules as well as instructor-led courses. Work is autonomous with varying levels of micro-management depending on the individual manager. Excellent work-life balance benefits such as the option to work from home in situations that would otherwise require a day off. Greenville, SC office permits jeans and athletic shoes during the week.

Cons

Job specific training is virtually non-existent. Performance measurements are often not clearly defined or measurable and reasons for the performance rating received are not explained. Office morale is very low as company is currently restructuring causing many changes in job duties and team members.

Pros

Your earnings are potentially limitless. You have to work hard and smart but you can be very successful doing this.

Cons

Failure is limitless as well. If you do not have a good warm market of friends or family its very difficult to succeed

Pros

People are wonderful. I appreciate they understand that life happens and you are not expected to be there 8 am on the dot each morning. It is understood that as long as your work is done correctly and the client is happy it doesn't matter if you come in at 9:30.

Cons

It takes forever to get things done. Approval is needed on so many layers it really does not allow for one to make an educated decision to move forward and do their job. These days the going theme is doing less with more. One group can only be responsible for so much, layoffs is not the answer!
