Business Outlook

Pros

Team structure was solid, management and HR did their jobs well. Company parties, BBQs, and prize incentive weeks and bonuses.

Cons

Poor pay structure. Sliding scale commission so payouts were poor until 10+ sales opened and closed in a week. Often required work 6 days per week, yet salary paid per week was based on 5 days. Only incentive being more sales in a tough industry.

Pros

Good coworkers and the recruiter offered to bump up my hourly pay when he saw how low I was willing to work for.

Cons

My foreman was a jerk, but that was the individual's problem moreso than the company's. Other foremen I worked with were excellent.
