Pros

I liked my managers. Everyone up the ladder was good and communicative. They didn't care that I was on the lowest rung. Training that was pretty consistent, but was easy to be lazy and breeze through it without learning anything. Full benefits, but pretty expensive.

Cons

The pay for the area was unliveable. My manager had to get a second job which was a sign that I needed to go. They (whatever algorithm they use) set unreasonable goals which meant the commission was low (which I didn't qualify to receive anyway because of my job title). All in all, the job was as good as the place it was in.
