Pros

Benefits weren’t bad, unlimited PTO, work from home, 401k match after a year, that’s it

Cons

Managers, very cult-like. All of the employees started working there basically out of college. Management was terrible in my opinion. My manager had no clue how to be a leader. I wasn’t paid a lot. The sellers are money hungry and will take out anyone in their path to be on top.
