Pros

As a new hire, I had unlimited access to back office support and training resources as well as ample time to pass licensing exams. I learned quickly, thanks to being able to ask questions along the way. Working in a small office was like working with family: friendly, tight-knit, and supportive. We had many fun events and outings together.

Cons

Lack of opportunity for personal growth and advancement. Did not have the corporate feel that I was aiming for.

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
