Pros

Competitive pay and low expectations

Cons

I was literally handed my equipment and told to figure it out. I was selling iPad POS systems as a part of their latest acquisition of Breadcrumb. The travel arrangements were unorganized and did not make sense (they put me in a hotel across town from the office and scheduled flights so close together I missed my connection, and were completely hostile in their communication with me regarding this). After almost no training, I returned back to where I would be selling, never met my manager who completely ignored my requests to set up a 1 on 1 call with him. There was no follow up and training after throwing equipment at me for 3 days in New York. I tried to make the job work for a little bit but I was not given the territory where I lived, so I had to drive over an hour to a territory that was tiny. I found out very fast the only restaurant who would buy the system is a new restaurant unsure about their long term viability. I was left scrambling to find a new job or go back to the one I left. I found a new job within the first month I was hired there and got out as fast as I possibly could.

Pros

Good Office, Not much positive to say about it really!!

Cons

Bad management, Chaotic infrastructure, Ruthless/Careless Attitude towards staff, Long Working Hours. This is a start up company where it is all too obvious that the people in decision making positions are very inexperienced and engage in bizaar and foolish work practices.If they had worked in a "normal" company before they might have an idea about how to run things resonably efficiently. There is not an atmospere where you feel you can approach the management with suggestions but must rather tread carelfully lest you hurt their ego. I do not have an optimistic outlook for this orgnaisation and perhaps the atmosphere of impending disaster existing there is stressing the management and causing them to conduct themselves so badly. There is much waste in this organisation while they wont spend money on necessary stuff. The outfitting of the office was very poor with door handles etc being very unsuitable for a workplace if you had any sort of disability.
