Pros

On site cafe (overpriced but convenient) New Employee Orientation is fun Fantastic medical benefits and 401k match Income opportunity (Former)

Cons

Incompetent or unethical leadership (Hard to tell when they play dumb) Fleeting income opportunity Unrealistic accountability standards and expectations Blatant favoritism Deceit Degrading income opportunity. Income this year is expected to project at about 60-70% of last year on a heightened work-output expectation, even though ur business is greatly benefited by a pandemic The competition is outpacing our growth, which was our only competitive advantage (The company's leverage to negotiate because of sheer volume) There has been a longstanding complaint about compensation for management positions. Instead of increasing their manager's pay, they have decreased what a salesperson can make so that the income drop to take a promotion would not be as drastic. Max income opportunity now, $120-150 for less than 10% of the sales floor. Average will be around $45k for sales

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
