Pros

If you decide to work here, demand a sales job. You will likely hate it because you will cold call for several hours a day. However if you stick with at at least a year, you will absolutely learn that elusive and highly prized skill in business. As long as that's your condition to work here you will learn how to sell and this is why I'm giving a rating of four stars. Other pros include working in a high-energy environment, a non-pc culture, additional training which will also be valuable to you elsewhere and an excellent addition to your resume.

Cons

You will be mislead and lied to. Count on it. This company is a cult first and a for-profit business second. Hantz is very smart but do not let your guard down if you ever talk to him. Hantz demands personal worship and ego gratification from all who work for him. After a year you will notice that the company executives are all highly-trained managers who are highly skilled at training and the art of bs, but because they are supposed to worship Hantz first they would not be confident at succeeding on their own somewhere else. Hantz is very smart in that he picks the individuals with the least amount of independent thought to run his company. Notice I mentioned thought, as many of the executives really are very smart people, just not confident or independent. You'll notice that these "executives" also drive outdated cars and live in shacks, a clear sign they're not making any money either. So what does this mean for you? You're not going to make any money. It doesn't matter if you sell more than your entire peer group. Your commission went to go pay for Hantz' next painting. If you don't worship appropriately, you're going to the back office to collect dust. Leave immediately if this happens. Forget about whether you brought in business or not. Remember, cult first, business second. If you are good, expect to drive around Southeast Michigan at your expense. Plan of learning a lot about how any other company would fire you. Again beware of this bs. Because of Hantz' insatiable ego, better get used to working on Saturdays. You won't actually do anything while you're there but you will have to put the gas and mileage on your car. Vacations were for your childhood. Kiss 'em goodbye. If you complain relentlessly you will get a marginally insignificant raise, then have that raise used as an excuse to verbally punish you. Finally, and most important, working here does have that great benefit in that you will learn how to sell and competitors will pay a significant amount to bring you over. If you choose to work here, work here for at least a year but no more than three. It will look great on your resume and your income will be good once you leave and go somewhere else.

Pros

Company gives real opportunities to advance and grow. Not a dead-end job at all.

Cons

Tax season hours are long, but nothing outside of the industry norm. It's tax season.

Good people to work with.

Management is grossly undertrained and play favorites. Pay is low, no matching 401k and substandard health insurance.
