Pros

Local mgmt is great and supportive. If driven and willing there are opportunities to make very nice salary/commission.

Cons

Corporate leadership is terrible. Shareholders clearly valued over employees and customers. Decisions affecting associates working with customers seem to be made by people who have no experience working with customers. Limited staffing so will work you to death if commission/salary. Most positions have had pay cuts over the last year excluding senior leadership. Edicts come down from leadership with no guidance on how to actually implement. Misleading and evasive statements from corporate for explanations on why decisions are made.

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.
