Pros

Great business model with recycled parts

Cons

In 2015, it is unheard of not to give employees pay raises especially for a company that makes so much money. This is why there is SO much turnover. Constant stress because there are constantly new employees that have to be trained. Can't keep a consistent team. Control your turnover by paying more/be competitive with your pay and perks or you will continue to have turnover

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
