Pros

Great company name with a longstanding reputation. Domestic and international presence allows for you to travel and relocate if you wish. Helps develop thick skin and learn how to handle sharky environments. If you drink the kool-aid you're sure to succeed.

Cons

As a tenured employee micromanaged down to your phone calls, emails, and visits. Compensation is based on a draw. As a professional if covering your base and still earning bonus, micromanagement is frustrating. There's no professional development with tuition reimbursement. Expense reimbursement was slow (45 days minimum reimbursement). There was no clear communication when certain portions of your expense was not reimbursed or why. Examples, receipt was too light, we don't accept write overs or bank copies. Very frustrating when spending your own money and having to earn interest if using your card. Average expenses ranged from $300-500/mo.

Pros

Great in finding contracts for contract workers. They got me a remote job that allowed me to work from my home in the Midwest for a job in California.

Cons

Can be hard to reach at times.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
