Pros

Great company to work for in every aspect and always evolving. Recognizes excellence in their sales teams and individuals. Offers challenging sales competitions and great incentives. Fast paced multi -ask happy work environments. Treat their customers with utmost loyalty and awesome entertaining incentives.

Cons

90% of Management is excellent and highly professional and an honor to work with. 10% needs major improvement over hall to certain few unprofessional managers holding the company back undetected. For their own personal purposes or unethical preferences. Reporting this unfortunate and unexpected unprofessional or offensive behavior to HR - you get labeled rather then confidential and treated worse. Needs major management inventory audit to prevent ultimately losing revenue in this manner. Any loss is bad for this industry, especially when coming from within. Loss of Customers /advertising media buys - will go elsewhere -if they lose their sales confidant representative with out notice or suspect unfair treatment. The customer is ultimately effected. Grey area. Thus causing unnecessary confusion, mistakes, reprints, make goods, chaos and growing escalation departments. Risking millions and costing company more to compensate for escalate. Possibly create a position on the inside to monitor over authoritarian management 95%abuse- on the DL incognito. A win win for company, representative and most importantly your loyal customers.
