Pros

Freedom to set your schedule, Lots of Benefits, your income as in most sales positions is dictated by your own actions, Very socially responsible company, always looking to support the customers, No discrimination,

Cons

It's not what you know, but who you know, you will get promoted if you perform, but you will move faster is you know the right people. Most technical positions are really 50% technical and 50% sales, and your value will be determined mostly by your sales ability. if you want to balance your personal and professional life you better become very good on the technical part of your business, otherwise you will be many hours on the field, you are expected to be available 24/7 to help your customers, but that also gives you freedom to work at your own time.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
