Pros

it's in Windsor and theres a vending machine

Cons

- managers have clueless - management do not know how to interact with their team, shows poor leadership at the top, promoting people without the necessary skills to be a manager. - management show no professionalism at all, engage in irrelevant conversations, laughing and joking for 90% of the day with other work colleagues - management offer no help when struggling but will take credit when you're successful - claim to be diversity inclusive but have no idea how to be inclusive. Borderline illegal how they've acted in certain instances. - staff retention is non-existent - management will track everything and time everything and go crazy if you "land your plane" to get water or to go to the toilet - ridiculous shift patterns, no one wants to buy insurance at 9pm on a Friday - will lie about commission when joining - disgraceful level of professionalism and immaturity shown by management throughout my time

Pros

One of the better sales environments that I have seen. Healthy competition between agents but still a sense of commonality and cheering on your coworkers. They have an R&R room to step away and take a break and the actual break room is far enough removed from the floor that you can really take time to eat and relax and not get sucked back in to work. The company is pretty diverse and the management team makes themselves available when needed. Expectations have increased on showing up on time and being professional but it still does not feel micromanaged but rather creates coaching environment. This isn't a sales job where you are pressured to crank out unrealistic daily numbers and get yelled at or worry about job security because of it. In fact turnover is refreshingly low. Pay is competitive and they make growth paths very clear.

Cons

With all the new growth things have become cramped but that will be fixed next month when we move to a brand new office. As with all start ups, sometimes technology and processes take awhile to catch up with the company but overall Neilson does a great job recognizing the issues and working to correct them.
