Pros

Growing company, forward-thinking executive team that is trying to change the overall sales and marketing (broker) industry. Overall very supportive team and nice people to work with in all departments. Everyone is willing to help. Work-life balance used to be better, but in 2017 they started assigning jobs that should be meant for multiple people, forcing you to work extreme overtime and possible weekends just to complete everything assigned to you.

Cons

This company has LOTS of debt due to growing too fast. Major growing pains. Also tons of micromanaging by both managers and your coworkers, client base is unreasonable compared to employee count, growing faster than they can keep up with. Saw lots of hiring many "bosses" and not enough sales and support staff to keep up with expanded client base. At the end of the day you need a balance of both. Clients are leaving very quickly after signing on because they are recognizing that other brokers have the manpower to meet their needs. Employees are dropping like flies. Growth path for employees is nonexistent, too many executives and not enough AR, sales, and client services. Fyi don't expect a bonus for the next few years while they try to pay off their mountainous debt from acquiring other companies. Instead, they fire people and add the responsibility on someone else (with no pay raise).

Great place to burn out

Pros

Good coworkers, regular social events (in Chicago)

Cons

top heavy, expensive benefits, heavy workloads, no training or career development available. opinions or thoughts aren’t considered unless you’re an executive, or in the circle. “Friends in high places” is the motto that rules this company. The future of this company is unclear and makes it hard to plan anything - including your own future and career.

How is this company still functioning?

Pros

- You learn a lot because you get thrown into things that aren't part of your job description - Some great people - Summer hours

Cons

- The organization is riddled with nepotism. Unless you know someone or have an in, don't count on moving up or getting a good promotion. It's insane how this company is still functioning with how cliques it is and how much favoritism comes into play. - The leadership team only respects themselves and no one else. You will be treated as a lesser-than employee unless you’ve made it into their club. - Leadership says they want feedback, but will only listen to the positive. - They preach transparency but they're the farthest thing from it.  - 401k match is embarrassing. - Annual raises are subpar and with inflation you are regularly making less than you did the year prior.
