Pros

Good company overall. Care about employees and good benefits. 401k and PTO are good. Opportunity for sales associates to move up.

Cons

No management direction. Most employees lack knowledge, not up to par with technology and very disorganized. Nee hired employees have not direction, instructions and basic computer setup when new is not even ready.

Pros

Cool environment, amazing co-workers, everyone works really hard and for the most part everyone encourages each other. Very casual environment and rapidly growing with opportunity for career growth.

Cons

Absolutely no work / life balance. If you are young, single and don't have other obligations, it probably won't be an issue for you. The company is constantly hiring because they are constantly losing people. Very low pay unless you are consistently selling $40K+ each month. Be prepared to work 12 hour days on average as well as weekends.
