Pros

Great training, lots of great people. Lots of independence.

Cons

On a so called pay plan with a so called bonus/commission. My pay has either stayed the same or decreased since 2008. Started with the company in 2000. If our group has not grown sales, why do they keep us around? I think they do but no way of verifying figures for bonus. I do not work in a branch. Leadership acts like everything is fine.

Pros

This is totally garbage company to work with totally time waste . If someone reason your stupid enough to say yes and recruit yourself(like me) biggest mistake you ever done and they will not hesitate to kill by disgusting msg if you don't obey their words I should say more like a BULLY so at least think a million times before joining as employee

Cons

Management- Absolutely Pathetic .Dictator style of Management that has no idea about his job and keeps bullying and harassing all techincal guys to cover up for the self- incompetency and zero knowledge about how to run the Organization. Few people are given important roles in the office because of their apparent closeness to Management 1) No evaluation methods, they fire people if they don't like your face 2) You may be fired at any time without prior notice beware of this 3) HR professionals are horrible arrogant no respect to employees 4) JOB security is very very low 5) Unproessional people at top level 6) Many more to say but beware of this company,never ever join this hell 7) The technology sector of this company is run by a unprofessional people 8) Like BPO, they do hiring & firing in Technology as well.I have seen more than 9 fired in last 6 months. 9) Leadership does not have correct strategy to make it better, infact its going worse 10) Candidtae having good profile does not even come for the interviews

Pros

Focus on training, but not until you've failed a few times. Many opportunities to be trained, on the clock, travel paid, throughout the year Minimal Supervision over sales, but I had a great manager.

Cons

100% numerically driven Will toss you out if not putting out over a short period of time VERY expensive insurance Long hours, but weekends off
