Pros

Conveniently located in Tempe. Hybrid work.

Cons

The sales managers in personal loans are toxic. They demean and disparage the sales floor. They often mock employees. Many of them have been with the company for years and company leadership seems to be afraid of them. No corrective action is taken to improve the toxic culture. It just isn't worth it because the base pay is low compared to other employers in the area. They frequently change the commission plans in ways to shift more money to the company and less in the paycheck. Benefits are just ok. Stingy with vacation. Healthcare is expensive. The sales floor is sort of diverse, but the management team is not at all. It is not a welcoming environment.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
