Pros

160 hrs of vacation to start (of course you have to accrue this time per pay)...You also get two school days, so that you can attend your child's special events. Benefits are okay, at least for a single person (about $46 per pay). In the department I work, management is flexible with time....if you need to be late it's okay, you just need to make the time up...also if you aren't a 8 am person, you can probably get it adjusted w/o hassle. They work with you! Management appreciates your work and your input is valued for the most part.

Cons

The biggest con is the pay!!! Salaries are low an raises are not great at all! The only give 3% increases, if that! Not much room for growth. The system is a little old and due to this a lot of work is manual...they are trying to become a paperless environment but they have a long way to go. I also find that because there system is old, some work is redundant, when it shouldn't be

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
