Pros

Nice coworkers, the benefits aren't the best but at least you have them.

Cons

Low pay, low morale, racial undertones in conversations between HR and other "higher ups". Benefits department have no clue as to the laws. Payroll department always has in issue, Accounting department unstable. The folks in Chicago have no Idea how lucky they are not to be a part of the daily crap in Nashville.

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.
