Pros

Nothing at all, can't say anything good

Cons

For a company that has their executives living beachside in the Florida panhandle, why are they charging double for services with their inhouse financing?

Pros

Decent pay, company truck,good benefits

Cons

They use your likeness and communication skills to bring in customers with little to no compensation and you have to chase them down to make sure you’re compensated for sales you make, you can’t take truck home so you have to deal with Miami traffic no matter what at rush hour on top of that sit at the office two days of the week to try to bring in sales with a cold calls list

Pros

Top-notch training and support from technical departments.

Cons

Your entire career is predicated on the regional manager's liking you or not. It is set up as a small kingdom, and that person is your King. If they don't like you, it is best to just quit and go somewhere else.
