Business Outlook

Pros

- Great people - Remote roles are mainly self-managed - Agents have the freedom to speak their minds during team meetings

Cons

- Managers have little to no say over changes that come down from upper management, and have to pretend to be fully onboard with said changes - Upper management makes constant changes to policy that negatively affect agent revenue, reducing commission earnings - Had to get rid of quotas because the changes they made to the department were so detrimental to agents' GRS
