Pros

The culture is unlike any other. They believed in me when I wasn't sure I believed in myself. The company is supportive, collaborative, and ethical. We have the best training in the industry. We have received the client excellence award from J.D. Power. I was lucky to be able to accept the 1st place award as Metro Detroit's BEST place to work for 2018. This was an award WE voted for. So I'm not the only one who feels that way. We take each other's success (and failure) very personally.

Cons

If you don't take advantage of the events that are designed to bring you closer to your peers, it can be a very lonely job. If you are not self-motivated, this job will be difficult. There is no one to tell you what to do at what time. No one is going to look over your shoulder on a daily basis to make sure that you're doing your job. When you see people post negative remarks about the company, they tend to struggle holding themselves accountable, reaching out for support, and managing their daily schedule. Their failure is personal failure and it's not due to the company's lack of effort. Also, we do spend time getting to know people by knocking on doors. It is very humbling and difficult at times. But it is a strategy.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
