Pros

It's a place to learn a variety of basic principles about how not to do business.

Cons

There are 2 comp plans - they only ever tell you about the first one until you creep toward the 18-month market, at which point they either force you out or "remember to mention" you are now on a draw and that you have to essentially pay for yourself to show up to work. Not to mention, all this while also execting you stay motivated under micromanagement by incompetent, underqualified, and fearful leadership. Every leader in lower / mid / mid-to-high level management is vastly over-reaching their experience in those positions. Leadership and mangement training occurs 6-18 months after a promotion has already happened and the training itself is insulting and clearly thrown together as an afterthought by rotating "trainers" who barely meet qualifications to enjoy a 6 month break from production to "train" "new" managers. Also, the company provides you a laptop so you can work remotely... after you've put your 40 hours in for the week, in no way, shape, or form do they want you to experience work-life balance.

Pros

Hybrid, Good benefits/PTO, offered “competitions” for gift cards, cares about employees

Cons

As a recruiting manager, I felt that the pay structure was interesting with the base pay being a “draw” - meaning that you base salary is essentially commission paid to you in advance. So if you have some slow months, it rolls over and works yourself into a hole. I think it would be a better structure if it reset every month.
