Pros

Casual dress code, jean day every day. Overtime allowed and you are able to work your own schedule within reason. Great cooperation when time off is needed for appointments etc.

Cons

Lack of management support - rather than asking about an issue that has occurred, blame is placed first sometimes resulting in a write up, then once the issue has been resolved and result is not the error of the employee the write up is still in place and no apologies have been given.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
