Pros

The company has a relatively flat structure making it less bureaucratic than other companies I've worked for. It also seems that the company is trying to do the right things for the company and the employees. Many people have be at the company for several years (20+). this is both a plus and a minus.

Cons

The company lacks rigor in some departments. Some of the more tenured staff is stuck in the 80's. the company has grown primarily through acquisition and so there is some inter-competition between the two busines units. And, some divisions just don't seem to make sense strategically. Pleople can be somewhat territorial.

Pros

Great potential income Great industry to work in Trainign was above par and set me up to be successful in my future endeavors.

Cons

Very much a "your on your own" mentality once you hit the floor. No consistency in management styles which lead to better performance of other groups

Pros

The people I work with are fantastic. The organization has a clear focus and metrics in place to support their growth strategy. The field employees are given autonomy to make local decisions regarding what is best for their client base.

Cons

I understand the challenge of recent economic impacts which resulted in corporate and field restructuring to reduce headcount and become more profitable-great for the shareholders. However, we are going on year #2 of frozen salaries and no employer match in 401k. Those invaluable employees which are described by the President of the company are not being compensated commesurate with their actual performance. The bonus program continues to be the 'carrot' dangled in front of your nose which you never quite get close enough to take a bite. As a manager who has year over year growth in both revenue and gm$, I have yet to see any form of monetary bonus. Not to mention, the company is hiring new managers and bringing them in at much higher base salaries than the current management team.
