Pros

A young team, good to make friends and gain experience

Cons

To much pressure on employees, no trust, employees are treated like little kids, it's all about politics, management only cares about themselves, there is no moral when it comes to sell and money.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities are there for people who work hard and have a good attitude. Performance related pay in sales means that if you are good at your job you can earn. A LOT. If you are not you will probably earn less (and complain about it).

Cons

Cost control can sometimes be inhibitive. Progress often comes at a cost, and provided the cost will be outweighed by the benefits, should be embraced.
