Pros

Great People, Higher ups are friendly and approachable. Cool perks like Christmas party, golf outing etc.

Cons

Rapid growth typically generates unqualified middle management. Very cliquey. Managers hide insecurities about their own positions by looking at top performers as threats. Suggestions/Ideas for department improvement to management are looked at as being insubordinate, then later introduced as their own ideas. Commission Cuts! Commission Cuts Commission Cuts! I was there a little under 2 years. My departments' commission was cut 3 separate times! They underpay their workers compared to industry competitors. Prided themselves on not being a "Call Factory" bashing other local companies "W&S" "TQL" for their turnaround and management.... they are very quickly following suit with the companies they bash in the interview process. Department was often managed by emotions and personal relationships and not production and results. Double Standards. They know who they are going to hire for promotions before they have interviews.

Pros

They bring in breakfast everyday- usually just bagels and fruit. Leaving at the end of the day.

Cons

It’s much easier for them to hire through a temp agency so they don’t have to compensate the employee for any bonuses. Management plays favorites and are very disingenuous.
