Pros

Fun work environment, good people to work with, nice office, ping pong, promote anything that gets a sale. Lots of partying.

Cons

No advancement opportunities, someones fired every week, upper management treats employees horribly, they make you lie and cheat people, very hard to get commission payed. No one knows anything. Very Sketchy.

Pros

Decent money if you're comfortable with lying all the time

Cons

The issue with this place is that no one, INCLUDING THE OWNER, has an education past grade school. Think of the movie "Boiler Room" with poor management, drugs, micromanagement and an incompetent Owner/Chairman.
