Pros

- Great line of diverse products to sell (most of them are very competitive) - Fun co-workers (heavily dependent on location) - Plethora of Industry savvy co-workers to learn product knowledge and sales tips from - POTENTIAL for long term high pay - Benefits (Health insurance and PTO) are significantly better than most small-mid size companies

Cons

- Pyramid scheme with extra perks structure - Very low starting salary for all jobs - Morale in most locations - Work/Life balance is terrible compared to most good sales teams - You are expected to manage accounts for which you don't get paid, but your managers do (they're essentially milking you for free work so they can get commission). - Upper management. Some people have been there so long they own so many accounts and barely work while still getting paid commission. This is very discouraging for new employees. - Commission structure until you hit Director level is a joke (1% on referred clients, 2% on clients you find yourself) while your managers are making 9+% on your sales. - Promotions are done in bulk, and aren't based on success. I had colleagues who had done nothing but been there half a year longer than me, get promoted at the same time with the same pay raises.

Pros

Great benefits, match your 401k, my department at least is incredibly flexible about days off. If you are in Sales, you will be rewarded for your efforts.

Cons

If you are not in Sales (or the CEO’s inner circle) you might as well be completely invisible. Sales are given bonuses, vacations, appreciation parties, and even growth/learning experiences by way of conferences. But if you are in Operations or Production and bust your butt everyday of the week, nights and weekend, for 12+ hours most days, you’ll probably just get a 1-2% raise each year that you’re supposed to think is the best thing that has ever happened to you. Your ideas for growth and business development will be ignored, and even if you’re made a manager of some kind, unless you are a senior vp or in sales, it doesn’t mean a thing.
