Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent training and opportunities for career advancement. Team environment and supportive local leadership. Great benefits, company car, 401k, vacation and competitive salary.

Cons

Senior corporate leadership team is not as transparent as they like to think. No such thing as work/life balance. Issues and inconsistency with how sales data is gathered and reported back to the local rep level, which is unfortunately used to rank performance and determine promotions, etc.
