Pros

Regular pay check. Paid time off. Big company with insurance benefits. Has some decent training for new employees. Not many.

Cons

Management treats you like dirt. They track you on your cell phone and iPad. They read all your emails and listen to all your calls. They call customers to verify that you actually met with them. They flat out lie to customers. Office is downtown. Parking is $12 a day, not covered by CenturyLink!!!

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
