As with any other start up company, the hours can be long, but the rewards of seeing the company grow and mature make it all worth it.

Pros

There are a lot of great salespeople and 1BOG has a history of doing really cool stuff to promote environmental awareness...

Cons

Unfortunately employees are criminally undervalued by management. The new parent company doesn't understand or care about the culture that once made this place such a great environment. New management has no imagination, lacks organization and rules by force and threat rather than actual skill. They also flat-out lie. The other problem is that they don't pay people accurately. The amount of times they've screwed up paychecks is unbelievable. They also don't make anybody sign NDAs - if any salespeople went to a competitor (or a partner), they could spill some serious beans and that would be really bad. Really bad. Only thing that matters at the new 1BOG now is how much they sell every month. It's a sales organization and a call center, and they treat employees like garbage. Make your numbers one month, you're a star. Miss them the next month, you're back to garbage. It sucks because 1BOG was such a cool place at one point.
