Pros

They have a great work environment where they hire intelligent, well spoken and for the majority part, positive, group of teammates. Most of the people I worked with worked part time while having gone to UCLA or having recently graduated Occidental or LMU. They look for intelligent people who have a good track record and who can do well in sales and environmental sustainability.

Cons

When you are in sales, there is not a lot of room to grow into other departments other than sales. You can definitely count on being there for a year in sales before being considered into a higher up position in sales. Also, the sales pay is in either hourly or salary. There is no commission salary.
