Pros

Great benefits! The best I have had at any company.

Cons

Management has the mentallity that the product will sale itself. You are considered just a number if you are not hitting your over inflated targets you will be fired and someone else will be brought in. I was an overachiever but still saw this happen to many well qualified and very good reps. There is no balance of work and personal life. You are told to not do any order entry or even return customers phone calls during the work day. All customers were directed to call centers for support. Anything besides cold calling and sales meeting will need to be done during off hours and we were told to report back to the office after dinner with our families to complete this work. Management also encourages you to use borderline unethical behavior to make sales. I elected to go elsewhere for employment.

Pros

The pay and compensation is good as well as the benefits. It enabled my family to get out of debt and turn our finances around through some strict budgeting. There are many people out of work or under-employed doing hard labor for little money so I appreciate the opportunity. Not only were we able to accomplish our personal goals but the company provided $8,000 yr toward education that allowed me to get reacquainted with college and am now pursuing a high level education as a result.

Cons

I have never worked somewhere that allows such deceit and provided zero opportunity for advancement. Management within the center seem inept and feel the need to demonstrate to you that they are in charge and if they feel you have any ambition at all and you dont fit their idea of a lackey, you dont have a prayer in that center. My hope was to put in the 18 month minimum in the center then move on but all opportunities seemed to disapear. I found the union (IBEW 824) to be helpful once a new business manager was in place but the seniority aspect with regard to advancement creates a time served over qualified situation.

Pros

The pay is good, and the benefits are good

Cons

Expectations to constantly be working begin to drain on you after a very short while. This company leaves very little time for a personal life or children. If you have children, this is not a company for you. There are expectations 7 days a week, and you are expected to be involved in the day to day business 7 days a week. It gets old very quickly.
