Pros

Autonomous working environment. Good employee parking. There are many hard working employees who come to work and do their job correctly every day. Some positions have great challenges and offer an intelligent person room to grow and flex their business acumen.

Cons

No training for position. Put in cubicle and told to "learn" the job from others. Supervisor had own work load not related to my position so had little to offer when issues arose. Changes made to procedures without fully understanding ramifications. Very little discussion between affected departments. Very top down administration. Salary formula has issues. New hire is given low-ball salary but told they will get a bonus every month based on sales. This bonus could be up to 1/3 of your pay check. The bonus rarely is the amount the company says you will get. Frequently once the numbers are attained the company will change the formula used to set that bonus so it is lower. No yearly reviews, so no regular raises offered either.

Pros

You have existing business you are paid on which is nice starting out plus the base salary keeps you from sinking if you do have a hard time at first

Cons

Commission is only good on new business but that's any sales job. You have to put in work. If you aren't hungry sales isn't for you.

Pros

Great part time job for someone actively pursuing a college degree. Opportunities to move up exist, if you find its the type of job you'd like to pursue.

Cons

Not the job for everybody; decided a few months in that it wasn't what I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I left.
