Pros

Frontline associates are amazing people and there is a decent healthcare plan.

Cons

It is a boy's club, if you do not play politics you will be forced out of the company or at a minimum blocked from promotions. This is even the case if you are a top performer in the company. The leadership team is reticent to change and it directly hurts the business' progress and leaves the company operating on antiquated technology that makes taking care of customers' needs cumbersome at best. Most of the top performers either get frustrated and leave or get pushed out by unqualified managers who are scared of them taking their place.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
