Pros

Good base pay, 401k match

Cons

So many I will have to make bullet points: * 2 billion dollar company stops all company wide spending for investors, can't even buy coffee for employees or spend money on work supplies like paper and pens. * Management is a joke. So top heavy. No need for 3 managers to manage a team of 12 people *Favoritism at its finest. One person received a 18k raise in one year from being the bosses favorite, while others in the department received no raises at all. *No training at all, basically you are hired and you need to figure it out on your own *Revolving door, this office is a soul sucker. Management is unhelpful, rude, and condescending. When you ask for help they act like you are stupid for even asking. *One manager sits in his office all day just looking at fishing pictures and does nothing else. *Will do anything they can to not pay you your earned commission. They will tell you, they will pay you out and right before you are supposed to be paid they hold a meeting that they are cutting your earned bonus to only 40% pay out for investors. *Every person in every department is miserable This is just scratching the surface. Don't let the recruiting company lie to you and tell you this is an amazing place to work. It's not. When you walk in it's like a library, no energy at all. Every single day was agony knowing I had to get up to go to work there.

Pros

The people you work with are super nice and supportive. Good team. Every location is different, however this location has good management. Company offers great benefits.

Cons

Since the company is so big and all over the world, not everyone does everything the same. A lot of things get pushed onto Customer Service which can be super stressful. Company has changed since it has gone public, more pressure on everyone. If you were interested in moving into Sales they would send you to another state to train for 6 months then where ever they need you that is where you would go, you don't really have a choice. Also, they prefer to hire someone external who has no knowledge on the accounts or system versus someone internal who knows the system and the customers. Which makes you feel as if you're not good enough to move up.
