Pros

PTO is great, you get to work with great people (coworkers). You don't have to wait for customers to come to you, due to a large number of customers. Once you build your pipe line you will have a consistent flow of clients you can utilize to create a great cash flow stream.

Cons

-Manager act as if the care about what you are thinking or feeling, however in reality your are being interrogated for information they use against you and the staff after the fact that you just told them how you feel. -Pay structure is not great, they pretty much have you doing extra things with no compensation for your work. -Lots of manipulation from the hire ups. -Kinda of like working in a psych.

Pros

I honestly cannot think of any pros to this place.

Cons

Force you to work overtime up to 55 hours a week Micromanaging and breathing down your neck as you try to work They have many mottos and acronyms to shove down your throat Only way to get promotions is to brown nose your way to the top Constantly correcting anything you do even if it is not "wrong"
