Pros

Flexible hours, with plenty of time to explore all options to get the client the best return. Had an amazing team, and enjoyed the start-up environment. Always had something new to challenge me, and solving problems created an ownership-like mentality of our product.

Cons

The division was terminated. I'm not sure what benchmarks we were supposed to hit in order to be successful; that was never communicated to us. There were a lot of stutter steps in the apps development, but it was only 7 months old when it was released to market. I feel like we weren't given a chance to fully realize what our division could have been.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
