Pros
For the most part, I work in a casual environment and like everyone I work with. Management is very understanding about your need for a work/life balance so that is very appreciated. It's great to have a phone provided to me that I am also able to use for personal use even though I really don't use it very often for that. Really nice to have 10 paid sick days per year that can accumulate up to x number of days but the reason for that is because they don't offer any kind of short term disability. Company paid life insurance in the amount of what your salary is. Free coffee. Sometimes get free tickets to go to things. Have earned gift cards for hitting certain sales initiatives. First three months guaranteed commission.
Cons
Where do I even start? We have a very small staff and at least three of the people are extremely incompetent and spend more time taking Facebook quizzes and chatting away than actually doing their work. We all get to hear how busy they are though. The higher ups are out of control with their micromanaging. Every day it seems that we have new "standards" that we have to meet and most of them are ridiculous. If you do well, don't expect to be told you are doing a great job. Instead, you can expect them to look at you like "oh, that's it?" Everyone is stressed to the max and the tension can be cut with a knife. No one even has the time or desire to even say hello to anyone. People are constantly applying for jobs and many of the incompetent people apply right at their desk at work. Instead of better pay, raises, or other legit morale boosters, we get "t-shirt Tuesday." Give me a break. Most account executives, if they are professional, are not going to wear t-shirts to work because, you know, they are expected to be out on sales calls and meet the new "standards." Appleton and Green Bay appear to be the only two GWM sites that matter. Salesforce is rammed down our throats CONSTANTLY. Many times we are told to sell the new latest and greatest without even thinking about how that will benefit our customer. So many of the sales executives sell programs just to sell them because they are told to and/or so they can hit their ridiculous sales goals so they don't get a measly $200 at the end of the month. Don't even get me started on the CAP they put on our commissions. That is cool that the company gets rewarded and hits their sales goals but the people who work their butts off have to get their commissions capped, taxed to hell, and never receive a raise no matter how well they perform. Great company.
