Pros

Financially solid company with great products! I'm sure corporate / salaried employees do well, since there is so much money in the basement.

Cons

Life Insurance is viewed by most people as unnecessary, since it can only benefit someone else upon death. Approaching potential clients with smoke and mirrors adds to the distrust, especially when dealing with business savvy individuals. San Francisco agency lacks direction, training classes lack structure and most promises fall short.

Pros

Base salary is standard within the industry and the benefits package is strong. The annual bonus is a genuine differentiator in total compensation. The work itself offered real opportunities to build technical skills, particularly for those in data and analytics roles, with access to projects that should have a meaningful business impact.

Cons

Organizational restructuring has been a recurring theme, creating uncertainty around team stability and long-term role security. Communication from senior leadership during periods of change was inconsistent, making it difficult to plan or feel confident in the direction of the company. Employees may find themselves in limbo when priorities shift at the leadership level.
