Pros

The people I worked with were great ... my peers, my team etc. There was a time when the pay was good. The benefits for leadership was fairly good ... not so much any more.

Cons

Senior leadership is horrible and crooked especially in Central Florida. IF you aren't part of the boys club well you aren't going anywhere. The benefits for families it beyond terrible. Absolutely no work ./ life balance. Constantly sending out surveys of how to improve then SENIOR leadership doesn't do anything about the survey . Preaches how much they care about employees... everyone in the company is a "TEMP" you are just a number and disposable at any time. One of the worst leadership experiences of my career and more fire drills on a daily basis then necessary. The talk of coaching and developing is just that talk. Great words but no actions.

Pros

Can make a decent living if you are willing to compromise values

Cons

Sales reps are held to impossible standards. The company wears you down until you quit, get fired or let go of all your ethics and do what you have to do to make your goals.

Pros

Personally, the management types I encountered seemed like decent people. Company seems to have some commitment to community service which is admirable.

Cons

They didn't bother to tell us during the hiring process that you have to wait 6 mos. to enroll in their health insurance. They put us through 'new style' training for 4 wks in the classroom, then threw us out on the floor full-time for 2 wks, then brought us back into the classroom for 2 wks of allegedly 'advanced' training. My final week, we were attending remedial training to make up for what we didn't get in the classroom. The usual junior high level motivational techniques for reps. Not sure why they needed to even hire new people - almost every day, they offered unpaid 'undertime' for existing reps to go home early. Call volume was so slow that some reps in my group actually brought coloring books and crayons to pass the time. I finished training and 'nesting' and never went back.
