Pros

Very good potential to make commission with insurance sales

Cons

They depend on you compiling a list of 200 associates that you PERSONALLY know to build your business. Ultimately when you leave they will go after this list for potential sales. NO SALARY. The average person I saw burned out in a few months. Kind of pyramid scheme. If you need to make a salary as most people do, this is NOT for you. If you dont want to go after your friends and family for their money, and you dont want insurance hawks going after them when you are gone, this is also NOT FOR YOU.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
