Pros

Coworkers are cool. That's it.

Cons

Everything about this place. Pay is insulting. Job is the equivalent of suffering. I've developed serious physical and mental health issues working here. It feels like being stuck in an abusive relationship. Higher management will act like they are there for you but despite telling them I'm depressed to come to work to their face, they basically gave me the run around and eventually said it's my fault because I chose to work here so maybe I should find a different feild. I ended up blaming myself at first, thinking well yes I chose to work here and put myself here and I make little money because I don't sell more...but I sell a lot. And no matter how much I sell its not enough. It's never enough. All they care about is the numbers. YOU are just a number to them. Everything is micro managed but rules and expectations change every 5 seconds so no matter what you are cornered and given endless tasks to do. Pay is disgusting to say the least. It's so bad I've practically gone in debt but was told how much money I will make working here when I was hired and was promised so much wealth and care. There is no room for advancement, and they will lead you on to believe you can get there. Training is by far the worst in any industry I've ever worked in. I have lost my soul here and I want to add that the amount of paper they waste here is of disgusting quantities. I've been trying to find a new job because unfortunately I can't afford to quit. I CANT WAIT to be out of this torture chamber. AVOID this place if you have any respect for yourself and your sanity. Prepare to be disappointed by empty promises. Id like to point out that I tried hard to like the job or convince myself that I did. But everything that happens here built up so much resentment that I've broken down. For every good there was overwhelming amounts of bad to overwrite it.

Pros

-Flexible schedule and some work from home opportunities -Progressive, LGBT-friendly company culture -Mileage compensation that adjusts to gas prices

Cons

-Extremely gossipy, toxic environment on both the retail and corporate side. Within days of starting, everyone had talked down on at least one or two other people to me. -Micromanagey MSMs and middle management, constant pressure to meet unattainable goals and keep track of useless obscure metrics, even if not in a selling position -Extremely minimal training, no dedicated trainer or onboarding team when I started, just kind of thrown to the wolves -Company is severely disjointed - everyone uses different systems and platforms, Teams/Microsoft integration is a mess, different expectations for different managers across departments and sometimes within the same department. -Consistently asked/told to do things beyond my job description
