Pros
The training is second to none. Hands down the best in the business, or at least was. Being a financial “Coach”, as they are currently branded, is a fantastic opportunity to build your technical skills and strengthen your soft skills. Play your cards right and there are opportunities within Ayco which can provide more of a career path. They people there are great, too. The benefits are alight. The medical insurance offering are sub par, 401k is par, paid time off is above average.
Cons
There is no such thing as upward mobility, therefore no one can blame the person next to him when the motivation lacks after a year or so. The communication between senior management and the majority is non existent as well. Hit lack of transparency among management is one of the large drawbacks and often times kept the greater population in the dark. Historically, promotions are based on tenure, which is claimed to be subject to change going forward. This is an ideal entry level job, but as with most large employers, there are major issues in this division.
