Pros
There are amazing, great, wonderful people that work at Academy. Volunteer time off and ample service opportunities are a plus. Food trucks twice a week, and unlimited soda at the home office.
Cons
Layoffs - they will continue to tell you that they are okay and that you are safe, up until you are not. I trusted management to let me know when to brush up my resume. They did not. Lack of Management support - Don't expect to be visited by any C or V level execs, especially if you are in the home office. In my few years at the home office, not once did any of them stop to even as much say hi to our team. Deteriorating benefits in times of famine - They will redact their match to your 401k and HSA accounts. At the end of adventure with Academy, it was very apparent that if you are not a producing loan officer, you are replaceable. Your tenure, skills, and position are just medals you pin on your chest. Academy loves to dangle the carrot on the stick. The promotions, advancements, changes - all of it - never seemed to come, and if they did, they were retracted shortly after.
