Not For Everyone

Sales

Business Outlook

Pros

They provide plenty of tools for the sales role. Probably too many tools and those they provide are restricted in some cases to being used at a full capacity. Local employees are knowledgeable, but many are disillusioned with direction of company. Peers are outstanding people.

Cons

Direction is muddled and confused. There are goals and then demands. The demands often override the goals, and there is a definitive lack of clear planning.

Pros

Great benefits, great local people. I love who I work with and my pay is decent. Benefits here are amazing.

Cons

Upper management and budget cutbacks (layoffs). I used to be one of a work group of four, now due to budget cutbacks I am the only admin left. I have seen massive budget cutbacks since they went public.
