Pros

Salary fresh out of college is decent, benefits are ok. Increase in business acumen is also a plus, especially for those looking to learn and grow.

Cons

Micro-management (they know they can get away with this because there aren't many options available in the area); no work-life balance, high pressure selling environment. Those who naturally possess an entrepreneurial/autonomous spirit--STAY AWAY!

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
