Pros

Lots of possibility for movement and career advancement. Just a couple of years ago I was a temp and now I have real responsibility and job prospects. Great place to start, to gain experience and job titles. If you are smart you will be surrounded by under-achievers, which might make you look better.

Cons

Pay is abysmally low and management is very inflexible about changing things in a positive direction. Very different styles, manager to manager, make it difficult to know what the rules actually are. Too much gossiping.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
