Pros

The organization tries to improve annually. While they don't typically address multiple areas of improvement per year, the effort can be seen.

Cons

Pay is extremely low and non competitive to other businesses. There are few benefits as an employee and little transparency into business operations and general communication.

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.
