Pros

Great base pay and an amazing industry

Cons

You see how they got a 1 star and then got SIX 5 star reviews in the same day a month later? Thats how the office is ran. Things happen and your left to wonder if it was intentional malice. Very unethical. If you know someone in the company there is room for you to grow.. your performance is not an indicator on how much success you will find. The relationships you build or don’t build will determine that. The way they are aloud to run an office with so much favoritism surprises me. Outside of that.. they do not provide you with quality leads. It is a very stressful work environment. 90% of the office does not hit their quota. Most people being fresh out of college with no experience and leaders that are also inexperienced with no real advice to offer. It could be that and not the actual job.
