Pros

Money is good, lots of autonomy

Cons

Company paints itself as an altruistic organization, reality is they aren't. Just as greedy as the next. Pushes crap expensive services to merchants who don't need it. Penalizes you if you don't sell it. Reality is it's a tough business. Very high turnover. No moral compass. When you step back from it and ask yourself if you would like to be treated the way they encourage you to treat prospectives, no way. I'd never buy what I'm selling lol

Pros

The employees are the best part - not the upper management who thinks that they are "leaders" but the front line "grunts" who do all the work. They come together and work with little recognition and pay. Through it all, they are friendly and (mostly) happy to be there.

Cons

Upper management plays favorites and is completely unprofessional if one chooses not to continue with the company. There is an expectation of 10+ hours a day for all salary employees with little chance of promotion or gratitude. The sales force gets paid 100 times more than the people who really keep the business going. The sales reps are spoiled and given whatever they want with no regard for consequences. Often the support staff is blamed for their mistakes. There is very little to no management support and you must figure out how to do things on your own - and if it's wrong take all the blame. They are really looking for employees who come in, don't ask too many questions, and work their butts off. Beware if you tell the Emperor he has "clothes." One of the lowest paid sales environments I've see. Their benefits package sucks. Stay away from this employer!! They will suck you dry and discard you with no second thought.
