Great people but systems are antiquated.

Business Outlook

Pros

They are laid-back people and personable.

Cons

They are not willing to change and are so grounded in repetition. Systems are too antiquated and everyone is too comfortable with the way things are. No strong understanding of accountability and therefore the company loses a lot of value in work-improvement. As a result, you have a team that has been vested within the company for 10+ plus years and becomes lazy in their work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Schedule, Money, Company car, you are in charge of your own success.

Cons

Once you make 70k its hard to make more money unless you get lots of promotions. After 5 years is a first promotion, another 5 for second promotion, and 5 to 10 for the third promotion where you are likely to actually make some money. This is if you get hired as a TM, if you are hired as an RM it will take alot longer.

Does well by it's (corporate) employees

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is very focused on keeping its corporate employees happy. Benefits are outstanding and the culture is very inclusive. Customer relations are handled as well as can be expected by a company that relies entirely on independently-operating field reps to do every bit of service and sales by themselves.

Cons

The company appears to be operating entirely on the basis of its size. It has the resources to attract top talent and the freedom to dump them whenever it wants.
