Pros

Nice people. Good friends. Commissions were great a few years ago... Easy to make six figures as an inside rep at that time.

Cons

Commission structure changes constantly and for the worse, year by year. Micro-management. Very open workplace means you will constantly get sick. Managers use their influence to try to sell you "home party" clothes and jewelry. The company only hires brand new college grads now and as a result much less talent. Senior leadership is all men, no diversity.

Thanks for your feedback. I would recommend that you mention your specific concerns to HR so we can address them appropriately...as some of what you mention is not a common issue. You have some good suggestions regarding compensation and flexibility. We do want to have solid career paths for both experienced employees as well as those that have less experience. Our interest is that we can provide a great work environment for all of our employees. Your input was helpful. Thanks!
