Pros

4-month start salary, good brand name, nice office, they give you a manager that will go on sales calls with you (a tremendous resource), decent benefits

Cons

compliance is too inhibiting; management has no clue how to generate business; they're all old school; can't teach you how to build a practice; train you on so many things other than what really matters - generating a ton of appointments; they let anybody in to work there, which to me was disappointing; much of management are slackers who've been in the business for decades; pay is super slow - only 1/10 of your pool every week. after 2.5 years gets very expensive to be there.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
