Pros
- Great regular customers - You get the opportunity to consult/help with some very interesting people/projects. -Decent hours -Decent Benefits (Health, Vision, 401k, stock purchases, school reimbursements)
Cons
- There is a major disconnect between upper management and regular employees. -Management has no idea what it's like to be a customer facing employee and expect you to use the same talk track with every customer regardless of what there needs are. -Having to offer products that you and the customer are well aware they dont need. -Frequent employee turnaround due to stressful work enviroment -Promotions are few and far between. Employees are promoted based on how well they can schmooze with management as opposed to their knowledge and sales numbers. -I've seen new hires get a management position over a more qualified seasoned employee numerous times, I'm assuming this is due to "metrics" and an attempt to keep payroll down. -Stores are frequently understaffed. -Management implements policies that seem silly without explaining why.
