      A good gig, but poor leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great salary Work From home Stock Purchase Plans

      Cons

      Process changes and leadership selection have caused chaos at present. Process change almost daily. Lack of effective training on the company CRM, SAP, and paths for escalation make mistakes easy to make. The biggest con thought is the lack of feedback you will get on how you personally are doing WILL cause you to feel uncertain about your effectiveness. The managers almost never give positive feedback.
