Pros

base pay is somewhat acceptable

Cons

Certain managers are all about numbers of calls, quotes, appointments, days in the field, and that is it. They do not care about the process of building relationships. They expect you to walk in the door and walk out with a sale. Old school products, old school sales techniques, old school management styles. Not a happy place to work. The stress is terrible and heated discussions with managers occur if a representative has a less than stellar month

Pros

Wonderful collaborative atmosphere where everyone was extremely helpful to me when I was first at the company. My boss was so much like Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" and utilized a laissez faire leadership style with was very effective.

Cons

I can find nothing negative to report on this company.

Pros

Good people. Hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Low pay, when a coworker leaves, there is no replacement, that person's responsibilities get divided and spread out to the entire team. The President of the company, is quick to jump to unfounded rumors, scuttlebutt from "anonymous suggestion box" comments and conclusions as opposed to actual facts, and focused solely on dollars signs, his bonus and does not lead by example, despite being a former military officer. Moral has dropped at the company because management doesn't take the employees issues and concerns to heart and pay a decent livable wage.
