Pros

There are literally not pros to working there.

Cons

This company operates on blatant favoritism and a deeply ingrained culture of nepotism, creating an insular leadership circle that controls all major decisions. Key management and HR are closely connected on a personal level, leading to biased promotions, preferential treatment, and a complete disregard for fairness. During the hiring process, candidates are sold a false image of the company, only to discover within weeks that support is nonexistent, and leadership lacks the necessary skills to manage teams effectively. Promotions are based on personal relationships rather than leadership ability, leaving employees without guidance or professional development. The work environment is highly unstable, with alarmingly high turnover and sudden waves of terminations that create constant anxiety among staff. Constructive feedback is ignored, and suggestions for improvement are dismissed outright. If you’re looking for a healthy, fair, and professional workplace, there are far better options. This company does not invest in its employees, nor does it foster a culture of stability or respect. Do your research before considering this as a workplace.

If you're not cut out for sales then you will likely not have a great time. This is a results based business.
