Pros

friendly work environment. minimal "direction" from managers, which I like. I feel very independent while conducting my daily activities. Great training and on-going support format.

Cons

frequently stay late or skip lunch due to the unpredictability of customers, and the need to make $$. Work 1-2 nights a week until 9PM, and almost every weekend (5 out of 6). Low pay for the amount of effort put into each transaction.

Pros

overall, the company is progressive and constantly looking for improvement. The environment is good and the associates are mostly competent.

Cons

I don't agree with the leadership structure. Some promotions are granted to "favorites" yet they are not universally viewed with respect or "the most qualified".
