Pros

Mediocre paycheck, mediocre benefits, mediocre commissions for the trouble. Not a bad job for building experience in a "high-pressure" role. Co-workers are actually a lot of fun,

Cons

60+ hour work week, no life, high pressure scripts, two months of mandatory unemployment every year, Chinese overtime (paid at about $5 an hour, not even sure how this is legal but apparently it is). Jump ship when you can, if you can sell here you can make twice as much somewhere else.

Pros

Weekly pay, 2 of the supervisors are sweet.

Cons

Everything else, not as friendly as you they put on, Not as diverse as you think it is. Mirco-bullying and racism but they won't admit it and will try to cover it up
