Pros

National company with locations in every major city, family like atmosphere with co workers, excellent trainee program with plenty of opportunities for advancement if willing to work hard and relocate. Company continues to grow organically and through acquisitions which creates great management opportunities for Trainees and college grads. Excellent starting salary and competitive bonuses as you move into management positions.

Cons

Long hours and difficult industry that has experienced its ups and downs in the US housing market. Management doesn't always appreciate life work balance depending on their specific philosophy. Working 6:30 to 5:45 and being questioned when taking a sick day once a year can make one feel under appreciated. With that said, other managers appreciate the work life balance and can be great mentors.

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.
