Pros

Competitive sales environment, generous commission, great benefits Avg person made about 2500 a month.

Cons

emotionally toxic workplace; too heavy micromanagment of call times, down time (less than 3 percent only), little loyalty to high performing employees. I was the 3rd top closer in the country, and they made me resent my job. I saw plenty of other talented sales people give up and leave. Little room for growth or advancement.... Just go through your script 60 times a day, but dont sell too much because then mgmt will paint you as a con artist. Sr mgmt is nowhere to be seen. really just glorified babysittiers. It has gotten worse since I left 6 months ago. People are making substantially less from sales incentives (commission or bonus)... Nobody I know that is left there is very happy.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
