Decent Place to Work

Business outlook

Pros

1) Decent Commission - up to 20% (depending on performance ofcourse) 2) No micro-management 3) A lot of freedom which is always a good thing 4) Work from home options and flexible working hours 5) Not a boiler room with people constantly breathing down your neck 6) Excellent place to work - to raise the employee profile and all employees end up moving to better jobs in subsequent years with significant increase in earnings.

Cons

1) A lot of wrong people are hired for their job (some of whom consistently under-perform) 2) Basic is definitely less than industry standards 3) The freedom we have is sometimes misused by some employees 4) The work from home option is a joke where most senior managers end up working at home whilst consistently under-performing - and the management seem to ignore that. 5) High attrition rate with a majority of people leaving in under a year (again mainly because the business has repeatedly been hiring the wrong people for the job)

Pros

Great medical benefits. Great co-workers.

Cons

Management want you to keep silent. I witnessed bullying and sexual harassment. I also saw people who tried to bring attention to it, were fired or pressured to quit. Substandard performing employees treated same as hard workers. Hard workers were given even more work, while lazy people continued being lazy.

Pros

Good health coverage. The cost is very good and the benefits are above average. Good opportunity to travel and experience different states.

Cons

A lot of travel. Management/leadership is clueless about the importance of work/life balance. They micro manage set office hours and there is no opportunity to work from home. You have to be in the office by 8am and can’t leave 1 minute before 5pm, Very poor environment. Top leadership plays favorites and it’s very apparent and accepted behavior.
