Pros

Was a great place to work at the local level, management was great to work with and would back you up when needed. Certain offices went out of their way to make sure you were doing well. Benefits like vision and dental did improve over time.

Cons

If your not one of the cronies or a family member of management then don't expect to get promoted. Corporate level management is bad at communication, nothing like a unexpected phone call to let you know your working 40 hours instead of 35 at no pay increase for the increased hours. They expect certain things of you even if you have no idea or have not had adequate training on the matter. Had several opportunities for other jobs but wanted to stay for loyalty to the company. In the end if your direct management does not like you, no matter how much you do to improve or show more effort they will force you out.

Pros

Great work-life balance as a remote employee. Management is approachable and genuinely willing to help when it comes to workload — you never feel like you're on your own.

Cons

Mentorship is largely self-driven. if you don't seek it out yourself, it won't come to you. Systems and internal processes can be slow and tedious, which adds friction to an already fast-paced workload. Compensation does not reflect the complexity or volume of work expected. High performers who are ready for the next step would benefit from clearer, more proactive promotion paths. When that structure is missing, talented people disengage quietly long before they ever leave.
