Pros

Decent base salary, because you won't be making many sales.

Cons

Doesn't look like anything has changed according to recent reviews. I wouldn't even be taking the time to submit a review all this time later if this place didn't still haunt my nightmares. It seems like it's going to be an AWESOME opportunity, but it's more like high school with all of their politics and popularity. My direct manager had never even sold in her life. I was convinced for the first 6 months it was all me, I was the problem. I never had an issue with anxiety before. This place had me on a very high-dose of depression/anxiety medicine for the first time in my life.

Pros

Pay and benefits were pretty good. Only reason I stayed.

Cons

Chaotic leadership. People are constantly busy doing things that don't matter as there is no clear understanding of what the strategy is or what success looks like.
