Vantaggi
Very strong Direct Marketing group and some products (not many) are made in Tennessee.
Svantaggi
Dangerous company to work for right now. Very outdated tech systems limits abilities to properly market and understand ROI. Company is sold every 2-3 yrs to venture capitalists (flipping the company). This means company is not allowed to invest in new equipment or its staff and Sr. Management CEO, CFO, CMO, etc. are constanly pitching the business and twisting the numbers for prospective buyers instead of running the business. They recently were missing sales goals by more than $2million and the solution by those C-level managers was to layoff most middle mgt to cut overhead just to make the numbers look better on paper, instead of develiping solutions for short falls in the reapective depts that were behind (telesales, Web, Goldstein, NDC) so they could hit their sales goals and receive massive bonus for the year. All marketing plans and products were already in place for the last 6 months of the year, so CEO fired almost all Directors, VPs and Managers (average time eith company more than 10 yrs) and used the assistants and coordinators (who are grossly underpaid) to execute the plans and save a few bucks.
