Pros

The people were all nice. I was given broad latitude on how to do my job. And I had all the opportunity for advancement I wanted-- because I was overachieving my goals.

Cons

Some of the goal setting in sales was unreasonable and sometimes felt like an roundabout pay cut. Also, the compensation isn't as high as other more aggressive companies. But in exchange, you aren't fearful for your job on a regular basis.
