Pros

Free monthly lunch Easy Parking Nice people

Cons

Prepare to sell your soul to the devil if you decide to work here. The whole business is a sham and they basically steal money from the poor. Long work hours and management will pretend to praise you at first for your hard work and dedication. All that effort becomes an expectation. High turn over rate-- then you have to carry that extra weight due to being understaffed (not ocassionally but all the time) No breaks because you are expected to finish an unrealistic amount of work.

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.
