Pros

Casual work environment. Wonderful people other than Executive team.

Cons

Executives are out of touch. Not willing to expand their thinking to change with the times. Things are different than they were 30 years ago when this company was started. They claim that their employees are the key to their success....not so. Everyone is expendable.

Pros

Great People, Higher ups are friendly and approachable. Cool perks like Christmas party, golf outing etc.

Cons

Rapid growth typically generates unqualified middle management. Very cliquey. Managers hide insecurities about their own positions by looking at top performers as threats. Suggestions/Ideas for department improvement to management are looked at as being insubordinate, then later introduced as their own ideas. Commission Cuts! Commission Cuts Commission Cuts! I was there a little under 2 years. My departments' commission was cut 3 separate times! They underpay their workers compared to industry competitors. Prided themselves on not being a "Call Factory" bashing other local companies "W&S" "TQL" for their turnaround and management.... they are very quickly following suit with the companies they bash in the interview process. Department was often managed by emotions and personal relationships and not production and results. Double Standards. They know who they are going to hire for promotions before they have interviews.
