Pros

- Great entry level position with large internal growth potential - Earning potential (bonuses, commissions) can be lucrative - Hire from only within - Bob Hosler’s a rockstar. During new hire interview “boot camps” and the following on-site trainings at HQ, he’s directly involved and his commitment to success is evident.

Cons

- Earning potential weighs heavily on the product line you’re assigned to - Micro-management in certain product lines - Lacking adequate work/life balance. That’s an unwritten agreement when accepting this role, however.

Pros

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Cons

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.
