      Pros

      When you are successful, there is no micro-managing. I have been with the company for 12 years. Most reviews on here with negative insight are from people who haven’t been at the company for a year. They are always looking, asking, and listening to us when we tell them what we need.

      Cons

      Base salaries are not the best as I make the same as new employees in the role. However, the comp plan is one of the best in the industry and benefits are better than most competitors as well. Tiers of conference are not attainable at current goals. Incentive trips and contests shouldn’t be based on % to quota. Example - 3 people hit fast start trip who did less in sales than I needed to even be eligible for the trip.
