      Pros

      I worked at a field sales office. The reps I supported were amazing as was the sales manager. The size of the team lead to establishing amazing relationships.

      Cons

      Sales staff was commission only and as a result they could be demanding and difficult to work with. Commute was brutal.

      Pros

      Senior leaders are genuinely interested in personal development and aiding employees to meet their career goals. Salaries are more than fair and the bonus program is generous. As an employee, I am pushed to be innovative in my space and share ideas. As a leader, I am taught to coach my direct reports to do the same. Principal is financially conservative but socially liberal and is doing a great job of developing a culture of inclusion and diversity.

      Cons

      They tighten up budgets when the economy gets rough, but doesn't loosen reigns when the market stables. Like many companies around the world, employees are asked to do more with less.
