Pros

The training and responsibility that the company gives you is phenomenal for training and learning how to run business. Salary does not compare to other jobs, especially out of college, and can set you up for long term success that could potentially be life changing from a fiscal standpoint.

Cons

They sell it as "you'll make 6 figures year one, and year two the average rep make 200K+." Simply not true. This number does not take the ridiculous, and i mean RIDICULOUS, turnover into account. They pay so well due to the amount of hours needed to be put into this job which is fine. What is not fine is how employees are treated by management. Borderline verbal harrassment, and not just in my office, but mostly all offices nationwide. It's disgusting. They justify the high pay by treating you so poorly. Not once in all of my time being there was there any sort of HR training/performance review/etc. If you can look past all of that, go for this job.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
