      Pros

      Majority of hiring is from within. College students offered lots of flexibility in work schedule. Can make great money quickly. Lots of opportunities to learn. Every work day is different. Majority of accounts are warm/hot leads no cold calling. Lots of lateral promotion opportunities for specialized tasks ie safety and lean.

      Cons

      401k package is good. Health insurance is not good. $800/mon for family. Lofty sales expectations goal is 20% growth year over year. Commission structure is difficult to understand. Base salary raises are rarely given, Can be a revolving door people below middle management leave for other opportunities frequently

      Pros

      Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

      Cons

      Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
