Pros

A trip to Rochester for two weeks and the knowledge you gain for future jobs. Great benefits, PTO, holiday, and vacation are good if you are able to use it.

Cons

Horrible management on all levels. Glorified data entry specialists with some tax knowledge. Constantly discriminated against by management. Horrible morale within the company, mainly due to management positions. And when they say you can grow, they dangle a new open position in front of you then quickly say it's not available, due to cuts.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
