Pros

Non-Management Employees for the most part are nice, decent pay, good benefits. The Rainmaker Plan is a very good product if sold correctly. SBA specialist is very good, but generally takes on "no brainer" cases. Only one person in SBA department…he needs help!

Cons

Very dysfunctional, Management is good old boy network, full of themselves, only care about themselves. They are very smug and think they can do no wrong. Owners are generally nice, but are blind to new management and their poor decisions. The business is slowly slipping away and they don’t see it. Very High Turnover, approximately 45-50 out of sixty people in about the last year and a half. Business is suffering due to bad management. The new products are not making any profit for the company. These products are being used as smoke screen to give a false impression to the industry. Good people in the Insurance Department and good rep from ADP. Unfortunately the management does not provide the resources to make these departments flourish. HR is a joke, being run by someone who has no HR background, HR can be very condescending. Worst morale I have ever been in. Most employees are looking for a new job or hoping to get laid off. The company has gotten rid of many good long term, knowledgeable employees and replaced them with lower cost unqualified people, while keeping a lot of the “yes” people . No one can challenge without being labeled a bad employee or suggest improvements without it being made to look like management’s ideas. The Sales Department is being trained to sell like used car salesmen. The company is setting themselves up for failure.

Pros

Great colleague's to work with. Everyone rally’s together to make ends meet. Some better than others.

Cons

Management can tend to micromanage depending on department. Some employees give off that “I am better than you” mentality
