Pros

flexible schedule, clear pay structure, training was outstanding, constant evolution of market.

Cons

A bit behind the curve in technology. very dishonest middle management, cut throat, if you have a poor middle manager, you have no access to assistance, retaliatory environment. A lot of games played if you are not looking....like trying to take advantage of new guys ....always. Each OpCo is their own. So my experience could be very different than another. If I had received 1/4 of what I promised I would not be taking the time. They handled COVID horribly. Let 30 percent of the entire corporation go and did not allow sales force to work remotely. If you ever make it to a meeting.... notice the number of new hires vs the number of retirees. That will be a questions I ask all potential employees going forward
