Pros

Diversity, culture, good benefits, growth within an individual sales office, good brand, company is doing well considering all of the financial institutions that are not! Each individual sales offices run their shop their own way. I was fortunate to have worked for one of the most successful, innovative shops with a very driven leader. The MD had an open door policy for ideas, questions etc. They also promoted within to provide growth within their culture to retain their talent.

Cons

Corporate- restructuring every two years, massive lay offs. Lack of communication/transparency that you get in the sales environment.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
