Pros

- Unique and immediate access to all levels of leadership (if you assert yourself and seek it out). - Great opportunity for high income, which expands the longer you stay and hone your craft. - A deep sense of community within local offices. Coworkers are truly friends with one another and support each others' successes. - Excellent training programs for both recruiters and account executives. - A wonderfully kind, sincere, and trusting workplace culture.

Cons

The only current drawback is one that applies to many growing companies. There are currently many qualified top producers who are motivated by stepping into leadership capacities, without enough such roles to go around. While this is unavoidable to a degree, I would encourage company leadership to open up more "partial" leadership positions that allow top producers to continue working as individual contributors while scratching that leadership itch and feeling more involved in the company's strategic direction.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
