Pros

The sky is the limit when it comes to advancing within the company. You actually make a big difference in peoples lives everyday and that makes it even more worth while.

Cons

I really dont feel that there is anything really negative to say about FDR, they are a genuine peoples company and it reflects on the overall happiness of their employees.

Pros

WAS a company that cared about and put its employees first. Great money if you work your tail off and I do. My co-workers are great people. CEO Brad Stroh does care about the people that work for him and the product(s) that help clients get out of debt. They would listen to employees concerns and change things when they saw that policies or were not equitable But that has changed.......

Cons

Extreme growth, and growing pains. Now has changed the commission structure DRAMATICALLY so unless you are willing to work weekends and 60+ a week, the income the top producers were making and they worked very hard for will have produce 30% more just to keep the "same income." Leads use to be equitable, it still was tough to meet the numbers to be an AEIII and keep it, when it was. Now they are trying to force sales to work weekends by giving those that do all the leads they can take, where those of us who work the normal work week leads are shut off after you take only 10! Now the top producers who work extremely hard are being asked to work 30% + to keep the same income, but also changed the commission tiers to give you less for doing the same amount of work. In some cases $1000. reduction selling the same amount! How are we suppose to increase our production 30%+ when leads are cut off after 10. Managements KNOWS its IMPOSSIBLE to increase production that much when you leads are shut off after a only getting 10 or 13 for the day!! This always has been a high stress job, but know it is unbelievable When you try to talk to management they are so far removed from what goes on the sales floor and really don't want to hear your concerns. And when they do they spin what they have done and basically say "be glad you have a job." Your still making good money even thought we have reduced it. So be prepared to work weekends, and forget about having 2 days off in a row. With the very high stress of this job you really need that time to recover, so you can push yourself the next week. Basically told we are going to hire a ton of people and we have to be able to pay for the employees , the benefits etc. So we have to pay for that some how. Thus you will take a BIG hit on your commissions. So its their roundabout way of reducing your pay! Also the quality of the so called large increase in leads, is poor at best. Of the 10 the allow us to take 50% aren't qualified, bogus etc. How in the world are you suppose to produce the high numbers with a lot less leads,and 50% being worthless???

Pros

there are plenty of people here that are willing to go above and beyond to help others. between our amazing HR personal and our Sunshine committee they have helped many on a personal lever doing their best to make it feel like a family. It great to work with owners that are still in touch with their employees directly even though they live in another state and always remember you by name.

Cons

some of the cons unfortunately is that your voice sometimes like it is not immediately heard and there is some favoritism within certain departments.
