Pros

Most of the people are great, while they’re around, company team building outings happen once a quarter and typically involve Manhattan Dive bars and heavy drinking. Both Manhattan locations are impressive.

Cons

They promise complete training what is received is only a computerized program and some webex calls, which is only half the battle. Although there are veterans in the business that can provide additional training, they don't. Everyone is just generally too busy to take their time extending their industry knowledge and providing proper guidance in this very competitive field. The promise of a lucrative career is partnered with tight commission structures and extremely low bases (unlivable wage in NYC.) The employee turnover is high, as well as employees constantly in fear of termination – performance plans are management’s preferred inspiration. A top performer, who constantly boasts stealing his “book of business,” from his previous employer, also a known sexual harasser to a female employee was recently promoted to run the sales team with a huge deficit to his knowledge in the industry. The company is launching a Diversity Initiative but has bypassed the #MeToo movement entirely as dollars are what drive this company and employee wellness, empathy and safety take a backseat.

Pros

* Plethora of companies to choose from

Cons

Pay was poor, no benefits, mismanaged. I felt like they withheld how their company worked, Failed to inform me that I would get holiday pay or any other benefit. Management was fleeting at best. 3 different managers in 3 months. Each one seemed to be worse the previous. Jim was the manager and was by far the most unprofessional person I have ever worked for, He was the reason why I left the State farm position.
