Pros

Well the benefits are fairly good. The health care coverage used to be awesome. The price has gone way up and the co-pays as well over the last few years. Paid leave is pretty good. I'm getting 3 floating holidays, 3 personal days, 5 sick days and 3-1/2 weeks of paid vacation plus the normal 6 holidays. I've been subjected to several different managers. Some of them were awesome - some of them were devils with horns. Luck of the draw I guess depending on what branch you work in.

Cons

Not exactly ideal work conditions. You are high pressured and the environment can get pretty bad with sour attitudes and finger pointing. I could deal with that if the pay were better. I like the benefits which is what keeps me there, for now. The pay scale is on the lower end and pay raises are dependent on who you know. I consider a .15 cents per hour raise an insult, more like a slap in the face.

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.
