Pros

Their are really no pros to working for this company other than it will give somehting to put on a resume.

Cons

This list is long: Low Pay,Poor Management,Work hours you don't get paid for,meetings are always after hrs. and out of town, no support from middle to upper management except sell more,paid off of an inflated POS system that no one understands.
