Pros

The rate of pay was good, the environment was clean, benefits were fair but the upper management was severely disorganized and changed too often to be effective.

Cons

Entire focus is on profit margin and the stockholders. No one notices the compliments employees get from customers, vendors or franchisees for helping them sift through all the automation and find a real person who can either help them or direct them to someone who can. The only thing that gets noticed is the bottom line.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
