Pros

stability, any idiot without an education can go pretty far there as long as you can talk customers in to useless products they do not need. Lots of opportunities for advancement if you put your own personal goals ahead of the clients.

Cons

talking customers into products they do not need. upper management encourages unethical practices. organization is built around sales not customer service that they claim they are. I worked there for five years and finally I had to leave, because everybody knows that unethical sales practices are taking place but nobody does anything about it. All the way up through district management and market area presidents.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
