Pros

There is little to no pros working for this company other than most jobs in the company are outside sales jobs and you can gain some valuable experience and problem solving techniques as a sales rep.

Cons

Every employee is asked to pledge their undying loyalty to the company. Meanwhile, the company does not reciprocate the same loyalty to its employees. They will fire you with no warning at all on a whim or because you may have an unpopular opinion. Further, nearly all employees, including managers and supervisors and sales reps, are looking for another job in a different company, as they threaten to fire you almost daily if you don't act like a "team player". Quite a contradiction as they are al looking to get out. The turnover rate in the company at all levels is like nothing I've ever seen and its not really that hard to figure out why. I've never seen a place with such low employee morale. Nearly everyone downright loathes coming to work. There isn't a shred of humility or decency in the entire management team, from the executive level, to managers, to supervisors. The Masters of the Universe on Wall Street have nothing on these clowns. You would think they're out there selling $300,000 stock deals all day and not $30 cases of beer, making millions for themselves, by the way they act and conduct themselves. Arrogant, condescending, racist, sexist are just a few words to describe how these people act and talk. Oh, and to make matters even worse, you're dealing with some of the most ignorant and uneducated people in the market. With a sales force of over 300, you're lucky you have a handful of advanced degrees in the whole place, executive level included. Sales reps are treated as worthless commodities. In addition to poor pay and compensation for the job at hand, the company does not reimburse sales reps for their car, gas, tolls, or cell phone. It's too bad too, there are some quality people that come into the company for jobs. But they either get fired or quit once they really figure out whats going on inside the place.
