Pros

Only pro is the work life balance of being remote, however they threaten going back in the office all the time.

Cons

Beware of layoffs that have consistently happened twice per year for the last 3 years. It’s seems that someone doesn’t manage the budget properly because they do a bunch of hiring of sales folks in the summer, but start layoffs in November and then again in Q1. We’ve been told in meetings that the company is not in a good place financially so I would not trust the “best place to work” surveys. We keep being told they will re-evaluate the budget and make cuts as necessary. Doesn’t feel secure at all and there are a lot of employees looking elsewhere for a more stable company. There has not been any career opportunities for growth within the company for the last 4 years.

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.
