Pros

- Robust inside sales training program, albeit more industry-specific - Senior management was involved with the day to day of the business. Most senior managers were very personable.

Cons

- Toxic management with no checks in terms of HR. My boss at the time literally called me the n word and there was no response from HR. In fact, the manager ended up retaliating against me. - Unprofessional - Limited upward mobility. They will sell you on how you can move to management or director or whatever, but obviously this is more rare. You'll most likely end up as a mid level manager or an IC role.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
