Pros

Great people (Andy Spear in particular)

Cons

The organization only cares about profit, plain and simple. Operations, Training, and all non-production roles within the company are of least regard because they only "deduce from the bottom line." These roles could greatly empower their sales and recruiting teams and effectively increase their ability to actually "help people" but they always agree everyone needs to do more with less and those roles are the first to be eliminated for the sake of shareholder profit. Annual raises don't happen if the shareholders don't make a profit either. Training only happens when you get hired and you'd be lucky if you learn something new after week 8. Career growth is only possible if you are willing to relocate or are a top producer, otherwise you are not considered. Even if you have no desire to manage or know how, it's the only way they can retain people because they don't give raises and the whole organization is flat, they simply have no other option but to force people into it. They usually either leave or go back down to being a producer if things don't work out. If you do get the chance to be "lead" or director, you still have to "carry a bag" so now you effectively can only give 50% to each role because you don't have enough to simultaneously do both. If you only care about money and nothing else, I mean nothing (benefits are trash) than this is the role for you.
