Pros

Great earnings opportunity for driven sales professionals; outstanding training and continued industry, product, and service education; Great benefits package, especially the 100% match on first 6% of 401K contributions; Mobility is unlimited and it's a fairly easy process to move from one location to another within the same position

Cons

Mid-level management prevents advancement of junior employees; Overall, this company does not value education as a means of professional growth and advancement, even though they offer tuition reimbursement; Windfall system for commissioned employees is unfair and robs those able to achieve superior sales performance of earned commissions in excess of a predetermined percentage amount

Pros

The pay is the best in the industry and you are selling products that are high tech and high quality.

Cons

They are currently split into four regions through out the US and because of that the ethics and M&P's very drastically. I have worked in 3 of the 4 regions over the last 5 years and was supprised to see how each area was crippled by the lack of "Best Practice" through out the company. Customer Care is awesome but the Sales department is definitly redonkulious when it comes to management. Although, it's common to find sharks in sales management because of the nature of the field. That is the true downside of the company.

Pros

The benefits don't' get any better. tuition assistance, a top of the line matching 401k, health and dental.

Cons

My main complaint is the incompetency and unfairness of the direct leadership team. I often wonder how they. What I mean are the direct team leads and supervisors. It seems as if they are more concerned with the fact that they are a "supervisor" than they honestly do for their team. They are never there when you need them and only see them when they have to let it be known that they are supervisors.
