Mon-Fri, no weekends, finish by 5 PM. Ability to make decent commission. Freedom to make most of your own business decisions.

Cons

Pay is considerably lower than competitors, micro managed while management champions independence, products are much harder to sell due to cost compared to competitors.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
