Pros

Direct leaders are great Benefits are ok

Cons

Company has gone downhill. Training for new reps is terrible and causes many service issues. Focus on AI and acquiring large revenue clients is taking away from the personal customer service element towards small businesses that was the foundation of the company. Employees feel disposable now.
