Fast Paced, Fun work environment, but some room for improvement.
Pros: Incredible staff.  Most people are passionate about their job and really want to make a difference in the company.  Most management interactions have been positive.  Strong sense of job security in the company with senior executives advising employees not to worry about the economy.
Cons: Using most salary websites as a bar: pay is in the lower quarter percent.
Without management assistance movement in the company tends to be lateral.  Upward mobility is hard to come by.  There had been a steadier push to try to make sales on order maintenance calls which a lot of times feels at odds with providing excellent customer service.  The online store staff has a tendency to be pushed aside for both the technical support teams and the sales teams when it comes to praise and recognition.
