Pros

There are some decent people who will give there best.

Cons

If you would like to be part of a sales force with no direction and a completely inept marketing team, this is the place for you. They speak of values, while there company is being investigated for brides, extortion and collusion. You will be told to focus on a item, you complete a sale and then are told there is no capacity, focus on another, and then told to go back to the other. Every account I have thinks our management is a joke.
