Pros

Pay has caught up to industry average, 401k with 4% match, 17 days PTO on day 1, Cigna health insurance is okay

Cons

Toxic work culture, staffing is a constant problem, unstable atmosphere (management will literally change in the blink of an eye), unrealistic sales goals, never ending negative changes to the incentive plan, unrealistic customer service metrics, outdated technology, redundant report sending (you will be asked for the same thing 4 different ways multiple times a week), no upper management support in most cases, sales are more important than your health and your family.

Pros

Coming from a long time in the public service I was a bit nervous of the work pace, however it has been a great transition. The team and leadership supplied me with all the equipment and most of the programs I needed to get started on the first day. I have constant support for any of my ideas and my business insights even though I'm new to this industry.

Cons

The four day in office requirement is a bit much, though being new it is good to be in and meet colleagues. There seems to be a few different groups within the same business line that are working/competing towards the same project goal and the lower management are unaware the project was shared with other groups. Duplicity of the project has created a "my outcome is better" attitude.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
