Pros

The whole culture is set on promoting women and have an annual conference on Pathway to Leadership for women. Young men have no hope of ever getting promoted here unless they are willing to kiss the queens' boots.

Cons

Everything is focused on women women women. Being a man here means that you can only go so far and how dare you question women. It's reverse discrimination at its worst.

Pros

Helping members with retirement and making a difference in peoples lives.

Cons

All management including the non degree CEO is petty, unskilled, unprofessional and will set you up. I was not there very long but while I was there it was extremely toxic culture and environment.
