Pros

The people I work with a great, but the company's vision, marketing and unifying principles are lacking which is the result of the Boise NOHD being shut down, but we get to keep our same pay and go back to sales.

Cons

Dealing with anger and upset customers who rightfully so should be upset. The company has terrible marketing, training and as a result of high sales goals is forcing the reps to cram and slam products and services in order to keep their jobs. The company really needs to re-evaluate why the are losing so many employees' and customers'.

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
