Pros

Not many good things to say about this place. Management acts like your best friend until you're committed to the job, that's when they show their true colors and lift the mask.

Cons

From the start this place was god awful. Multiple people fired for sexual harassment my first week there. Letting go of 30% of the company before Christmas, promise advancements if you do extra work that never happens, super stingy about when you can use PTO, the former CEO told us in a COMPANY WIDE email that he feels for us "common folk". That's not even scratching the surface such as major pay discrepancies between employees of the same job title, things changing on the dime, being told one thing and being lied to the next very second. Company only views you as a number hence why they outsourced multiple of these jobs to places like India and Philippines, theres zero job security here. Emergencies? They don't care. Your aunt, uncle, or unborn child dies? Doesn't qualify for bereavement. Pets die? Figure it out when you're off the clock. The corporate muzzle this company shoves down your throat is tyrannical and inhumane. You'll find more people with morals and humanity in a morgue.

Pros

The pay is very good for how easy the job is Some managers will break their backs to help you in any way possible The training was fantastic and very easy to understand

Cons

Upper management seems to not want to hear the opinions of the people working directly with the customers to make a better experience. Upper Management has a bias towards some people and treats them like close friends and won't acknowledge others. Used to be customer focused, now there is so much focus on sales that if you do not make your monthly commission goal, you get reprimanded. Very little communication between teams making the job as a design consultant difficult when a customer askes some questions. There used to be fun parties but they axed those cause the company is losing money. If you had a question about a product and there were no managers around you were out of luck. Managers are always in a meeting so if you need to talk to them, good luck trying to find them. Mandatory overtime during the holidays. I was told there would be no cold calling when I started, now if you do not cold call, you will get reprimanded. They took away Work From Home benefits, not there are no incentives for working hard. commission used to get a good amount upwards of $500+ a month if you worked hard for it. Now it starts at $100 and you need to work your butt off for it. Upper Management never listened to employees and gave very "corporate" answers to major concerns
