Pros

The culture was very autonomous, you were allowed to work hard to drive your goals. As long as you were hitting them all was good.

Cons

Upper management is completely out of touch with the front line employees. Poor decision making, not promoting from within but bringing in friends and inadequate outside management.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
