Pros
Potential to make quarterly bonuses and profit sharing.
Cons
Associates are expected to not only handle their accounts but start jumping into other accounts while management keeps moving the goal posts for bonuses and work expectations/duties without increasing salaries. The open concept office space for Associates mean that you will be listening to people's conversations, loud music and even singing. They allow people to blare music on speakers (provided last holiday season by the company) yet having two earbuds in to concentrate is considered "non-welcoming" despite having no walls to block sight and no doors to close. The place has been described as being like a frat house, and they cannot keep Associates. The turnover is incredibly bad despite multiple referral contests - they just can't keep people but management does little to address the problems and just hands off the additional workloads to the existing staff. The field offices are being downsized which has resulted in additional responsibilities being put on Associates with little accountability outside of Corporate.
