Pros

Great pto, great 401k...that's about it at this point. I used to think it was a wonderful work culture but not anymore. As a 9 year veteran, things have changed tremendously.

Cons

Where to start? They take away your bonus eligibility, and blame it on the DOL. Except to make more then the government mandated minimum for a salary position. You have to work yourself to death to tread water in your performance reviews. Expect mountains to be made from molehills. If you make any mistakes you will be sure to hear about a low performance trend. Expect any positive work to be tempered and downplayed. Raises suck, bonuses gone, expectation from management unreasonable, corporate favoritism etc etc. I hate working here and I want a new job!

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”.
