Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits, flexible hours, opportunity to work from home Privately held company

Cons

Lots of old timer, hard to penetrate. The new employee training is very poor and takes a while to come up to speed. Lots of white folks and not enough minorities. Located in NC! They have recently hired a new VP of Sales from Canada who is trying to modernize the company and make people accountable in sales. Otherwise, the company is very relaxed and things move pretty slowly. No urgency or pressure to deliver.
