Management? Don't think so.

Pros

Pay and benefits are reasonable. You can have lunch without leaving the building.

Cons

Management is untrained and incompetent. Lots of favoritism going on, and much of this is sexist. Pretty women do better.

Pros

Work life balance is good. Pay is average. A lot of great co-workers.

Cons

Senior Management does not communicate well. Upper management has become stagnant on their approach to some parts of the business. Many people who have deserved to get promoted don't get promoted, and many people who haven't deserved to get promoted do get promoted. Performance management process is suspect.

Pros

Great training. They give you a base for a while.

Cons

They try to make it seem that they offer more resources for new reps and that their new rep retention is 50% compared to 10% in the rest of the industry. However they set up their pay structure to keep you there for at least a year so the numbers are not comparable. They offer decent lead programs but you won't get access to them. Also, be prepared to give up half of whatever you bring in on your own because if you need to bring an experienced rep on an appointment then you have to give them half your commission. Your manager won't be able to handle an in depth appointment so you have to bring another rep with you.
