Pros

Nice office building. Thats it.

Cons

Young professionals just out of college are recruited with many false promises to come down to Florida. They promise supportive management, great training, and great financial opportunities. The reality is that the training doesn't prepare you at all for the job, you recieve a list of about 20 companies that have been called on hundreds of times over the previous year, as well as a bad work environment where you are threatened with termination on a weekly basis. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS TRAP. The average tenure of a rep here is less than a year and that shows. Pick a different company and start your career elsewhere, because there are very few other opportunities in Ft Myers when the job inevitably work out.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
