Pros

work hours are good, commute was good.

Cons

Lower level employees are not appreciated. No raises are given EVER. They will use you to get what they need and fire you as soon as they do. They have no respect for the employees who do all the work. The only ones well compensated are upper management. Very high turnover rate for most departments. They only are about who you know or who you do.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
