Pros

Benefits are good, however you don’t make enough for the copays or meds that you probably need. They also have a decent PTO package, but you’re made to feel guilty for taking it and again, you can’t afford to.

Cons

The hiring process is a joke, archaic and bureaucratic. The pay alone deters top talent, and you’re flat out lied to about what you’ll realistically make. The scoring metrics that affect your pay are set up to make you fail. You have to depend on incompetent and apathetic fulfillment partners to make a loan go through. But my role’s pay is adversely affected by their poor performance, but my performance has no negative impacts on their compensation. This leads to a combative and toxic work environment. Work life balance is a joke, and this is not a good fit for working parents. You’re pressured into working overtime every week. You’re bound to an inbound call schedule that will prohibit you from taking breaks that are required by law, and management constantly expects more production for no benefit to the worker. This schedule is also subject to change daily so you can never effectively plan your day or week. Expect to make about $50k a year, and this business is extremely detailed and complex to learn, so there’s a heavy ramp up period. The complex is rodent-infested and often smells like decay. Don’t eat at the cafeterias. The culture and work environment is pretty toxic. The sales people are so underpaid that they are unwilling to play as a team and help each other, management does nothing but track reports. There’s no real coaching or career planning opportunities. The whole company agenda is to bring in as much business as possible without having to pay out for it. There is no reason why an employee who brings in $25+ million worth of business annually for a company should have to scrape by to pay their bills.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
