Pros

Working for Advanced America has been the most fulfilling job I have experienced. I am proud of their marketing department and how they drive in clients and are getting their business name out there. I enjoy the customer base that has been built by these efforts. These customers rely on our judgement and become very loyal. They have the best training program I've seen for any company. Everyone receives 1 on 1 attention as the company develops them to set them up for success in their career with Advanced America. We are constantly learning new things and receiving critical feedback. I work with a supportive team of upper management as well as a supporting staff that cares about each others success and becomes like part of your family. This company has excellent benefits with a generous amount of vacation time, holiday pay, and even floating holidays. The company also has plenty of room for advancement as long as you apply yourself.

Cons

I appreciate the current benefits and the 401K program the company offers but would like to see a company contribution program some time in the future. The most challenging part of working for Advance America is the misconception by some that don't know the valuable role we play in the community.
