Pros

They are growing fast; but clearly don't have the infrastructure to support it.

Cons

I just came to BSN through an acquisition and they had all the sales reps out to a conference in Dallas to welcome us. But their racist/sexist culture quickly became apparent and a complete turn off. They played a video that was "a day in the life of a sales rep" and the female secretary was portrayed as a baby factory, the maintenance workers were lazy Mexicans, and they literally showed the CEO sitting on a toilet, pants down, legs wide open, and his privates blurred out. No one could believe the unprofessionalism and inappropriateness. Just put up a sign that says "BOYS Club, no women allowed." They didn't let one woman or non-white person on the stage the entire conference. Their executive leadership is 100% white men. Even the President told some an incredibly inappropriate story about tampons and another painfully long story about Playboy. Not to mention their insurance is robbery! My cost of insurance is doubling (from $400 to $800!) and they don't even pay sales reps T&E. This place is straight out of the South in the 1950's. AVOID.

Pros

Work in the sporting goods industry and are around athletics most of the time. Great people once you get past the Leadership and Management team.

Cons

Company doesn't care about its people unless you are at the top, every issue, mistake, etc.. goes against the sales pro and hits their commissions which are only paid 2 teams a year (who does that in today's business world) and thats if they don't double penalize you for AR>60 twice or hit you with customer incentives that company should cover. Lack of good management who understands how people should be treated and doing whats right not what is in the best interest of the company. They don't treat people with respect and have a very arrogant approach to everything they do because they think people don't have a choice since they are buying all the small guys up. They expect sales pro's to work 12-14 hour days to get the job done because they are too cheap to provide the resources to help them or care they don't get a family/personal life.
