Pros

No Pro's these guys stink.

Cons

They do not want sales people to make any money. They also use a 20 year depreciation cycle to a 50% residual for their assets... I have been doing this a long time and never have i seen a trailer built 20 years ago worth 50% of the original cost... That said, they use this ridiculous calculation to borrow money from banks in the form of an Asset Based Lending agreement... I do not understand why this is not criminal as it is essentially fraudulently misrepresenting the worth of the assets they are borrowing against... It is akin to me borrowing 20K using my car as collateral, but my car is only worth 5k... and they are doing this to the tune of a couple BILLION dollars... House of Cards...

Thank you for your feedback and dedication for over five years. With your tenure you were here at the first of the year when the ISR's got a base pay increase and moving from a bi-weekly commission payout to a monthly payout has translated to over a 20% pay increase for our ISR team. We have an uncapped commission structure that pays you for the work that you put in. Most sales organizations operate the same way. We are committed to developing our talent and helping our people maximize their income opportunities. Transparency is one of our core values. If that has not been your experience, feel free to stop by to discuss with me anytime.
