Pros

Access to good information about the industry.

Cons

Some of the trainers and underwriters have been with the company for years are give bad advice. They make it difficult to do the job. Before being hired, leadership makes you feel like this is the best opportunity. Once you're on board, they keep saying how your going to fail. This is a bad strategy. There is even a class action lawsuit against the company for the way they deceive people.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
