Pros

The benefits serve quite well and the occasional happy hours are nice.

Cons

Supervisors/management are hardly there for you- they often place unrealistic expectations but aren't there to guide, support, or encourage professional growth. Hardly any work/life balance, they make you crank out results/sales in additional to providing excellent customer service to clients- the workload of 3-5 people get placed on just you alone. The job can be extremely stressful, definitely a cut-throat company and I not recommend this place to anyone.No positive feedback to employees and supervisors only look out for themselves and how they can advance faster. There are many other company's in this industry that will look out for your professional growth, health, and happiness, so choose them instead.

Pros

Coming out of college, a great compnay to get your feet wet with. Young people, young manager, easy going work environment. Dogs in the office and casual dress. They will train you and let you learn the business.

Cons

Growth isn't always based on ability, but also your ability to join the gossip group. It feels a bit like high school or an episode of the office at times. They make it tough to seperate work and family while still growing. They endorse unprofessional behavior at times as long as those individuals are hitting numbers. They build a culture of work hard, play hard. The same mentality is going to limit their high end growth potential in the industry.
