Pros

Great location - at least for me :) free food

Cons

well they seem to have fired the best leader i have worked for in my long career and he was really the only reason i and many others were sticking around... poor upper leadership zero movement or growth i am in the second half of my career so to say i have been around the block a bit is an understatement and i can see a failing office when i see one - with the recent leader moved out i can assure you this is not the place you want to work. yes this is a real problem as i have been in sales my whole career and drugs just comes with the territory but wow... they take it to a new level here to many young people doing drugs and acting like children in the work place new management is a joke unless you like a call center

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.
