Pros

It gave me a paycheck, and allowed me to stay in a location that I wanted to be in. The work wasn't interesting, but we were allowed freedom to do as we wanted, to an extent. Their wasn't a lot of goals, but the laxness did allow for somebody knew to feel comfortable to learn at thier own pace.

Cons

Lack of direction. Work is not interesting. 50 hours a week did not allow me to have a life. I had a wife I never got to see much of. Management is always having to look out for themselves. They didn't really care about the happiness of their employees.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
