Pros

Originally had GREAT people there. Small office atmosphere (branches) with large company benefits (healthcare, compensation, etc.)

Cons

Management has changed core focus over past 3-5 years and employees are less valued than in past. significant office closures due to economy and commission plans reduced. many of the Best people have left organization due to these changes. and corporate model is to hire "young and cheap" talent and throw them to the market.

Pros

It's a work hard play hard type of environment. You get what you put in and management is there to help you along the way.

Cons

I would say there is a high earning potential, but not an abundance of career growth opportunity that I could see.

Pros

Great people (Andy Spear in particular)

Cons

The organization only cares about profit, plain and simple. Operations, Training, and all non-production roles within the company are of least regard because they only "deduce from the bottom line." These roles could greatly empower their sales and recruiting teams and effectively increase their ability to actually "help people" but they always agree everyone needs to do more with less and those roles are the first to be eliminated for the sake of shareholder profit. Annual raises don't happen if the shareholders don't make a profit either. Training only happens when you get hired and you'd be lucky if you learn something new after week 8. Career growth is only possible if you are willing to relocate or are a top producer, otherwise you are not considered. Even if you have no desire to manage or know how, it's the only way they can retain people because they don't give raises and the whole organization is flat, they simply have no other option but to force people into it. They usually either leave or go back down to being a producer if things don't work out. If you do get the chance to be "lead" or director, you still have to "carry a bag" so now you effectively can only give 50% to each role because you don't have enough to simultaneously do both. If you only care about money and nothing else, I mean nothing (benefits are trash) than this is the role for you.
