Pros
Fantastic benefits (health and retirement plans). Great networking opportunities with franchisees/instructors. Good entry level business consulting work. Compensated for gas. Travel sometimes for work.
Cons
The company does not pay competitively for SF Bay Area - especially when it comes to business consulting. The HQ is in NJ and they don't understand that it's a completely different job market out here in the Silicon Valley. SF Team culture is terrible. No one works together to reach team goals, but we're held accountable for hitting numbers together. When the team doesn't reach the numbers everyone is held accountable. Each team member works as individuals in their own territories, even though we're all doing the same jobs. Peers in the same role do not help new people or set them up for success by sharing resources. No opportunities for growth within the company. Managers have all been there for 10-20 years and will likely be there for another 10-20 years, leaving no room for growth. Classic corporate management - it takes 2-3 business days to resolve internal questions directed to the specific team (i.e. HR/IT/Accounting) even if it's a simple question.
