Pros

The benefits package is one of the best that's available. Even with the cuts in the recent years, it still is better than monst companies. The profit sharing plan is very good - if you have the right amount of time in. Most managers are very fair in the way they treat their employees and genuinely want their workers to succeed.

Cons

There is a lot of politcs - more so than any company that I have worked at before. As with any company, when the economy begins to go down hill so does the feedback. Some managers will look for anything negative no matter how small just so that there is something to put in your year end.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
