A nice place

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of work and satisfying work at that. I was temp to hire but the position was changed and I did not have the upper education for the position. What have loved to have stayed.

Cons

About the only thing I can think of is treat your temps as equals.

Not bad, but not all that great, either.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, ok salary, great job flexibility. You can manage your territory however you like. Lots of perks...car/gas/parking, computer, phone stipend each month.

Cons

Managers are, for the most park, very week and afraid to speak up. Extremely hard to move beyond the PSS phase into management. Lots of company politics. Check the box kind of job...being intelligent and wanting to engage customers can be seen negatively from a company that prefers you just deliver a message and grab a signature.
