      Pros

      Nothing really apart from the 401K & so called work life balance

      Cons

      Biggest problem is that the workplace is saturated, no scope for growth or career progression, of course unless you have internal connections. Salary also too low. Even you are a top performer, no one really cares, I honestly feel it’s for mediocre people with zero ambition. Now I work as a financial advisor with another company and I am satisfied, it’s grueling but pay and scope for upward succession is good.

      Pros

      Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

      Cons

      Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
