      Pros

      Free coffee, benefits are ok but expensive. Laid back culture. Lots of good bars across the river. Lots of good people but directors and Managers do not seem to have lots of experience.

      Cons

      Too many layoffs, attrition rate is high. Sales people seem to get recognition but looks like they have started to cut that back as well. No parking down town Chicago. Originally leased two floors but compressed into one as money was tight. Parent company seems to want to shut down Chicago office and move people to Columbus as cost of running Chicago are is expensive.

      Pros

      Many smart people who are fun to work with. Good work life balance. Sense of humor throughout the organization.

      Cons

      They have no road map or clear vision for the future. Nepotism exists and high salaries are spent on many who don't contribute. Many upper management are lacking the values they preach; those values are nonexistent in the way the company is run. Too many layers of so called "management"; the middle layer is a financial drain with actual contribution.

      Pros

      Great co-workers and that's about it. Very disorganized company and leadership is non-existent. Look else were!!!!!!!!! This isn't AEP, it's their little stepchild that nobody wants to take care of. Managers are a joke, don't do anything all day. Trainer runs around like he runs the show, lol JOKE. Pay is also a JOKE, terrible yearly raises.

      Cons

      Pay is terrible compared to other customer service positions in Columbus. They had a lot of people from Chicago fired and didn't give people a heads up. Not a company you want to grow with. Managers have the easiest job.
