Pros

There is no pros to this company. Everyone they hire is from the same mold. If you stand up to their illegal activites you get fired and denied unemployment. Shameful

Cons

Everything about this ckmpany is a con. Salery, comission, branch mangers that steal to support their drug habits. Higher ups sleeping with employees to get better positions. All around terrible company. b

Pros

I had great colleagues to work with. Worked close to home

Cons

Very Poor Upper Management . "you asked, we did it" That moto should actually read " we took it, and now we are kind of giving it back, but not really" Who do you think your fooling Lee?? Apparently the job description for a dm is to sit behind their laptop all day (for the most part from the comforts of their home) and tell you to go out and have big days. They somehow expect you to go out in one or two days go from 25% of goal to 75%. This usually occurs the last few days of the month after they start to panic because their district is not on pace to hit goal. When the DM does make his way to the branch, they usually end up sitting in the branch doing god knows what. Readers digest version is that DMs have know clue what is actually going on in any of their branches book of business because they can't get out from behind the laptop long enough to go out and help making actual sales calls with their managers. That would then require them to take responsibility which they clearly pass the buck.
