My overall experience has been great so far, but with recent changes in leadership, we will see how things shake out this year. They don't pay well but you do have opportunities to exceed your plan.

Great company and product. Definitely a great company to learn from. I’ve enjoyed my experience here. A little below market value for pay, but makes up with the constant acquisitions and additional sales plays.
