Pros

If you're just starting out and really want to be in business or finance this is the place to be. They hire you based solely off your ability to learn the job and train you on everything you need to know. If you do a good job you will be promoted. Adds a lot to your resume.

Cons

Your quality of life depends entirely on your DDO. I've never seen a center manager be promoted to DDO. They say it happens most of the time but that's not true. They usually hire these pretty boys with the limited experience in/or pertaining to the newest product.

Pros

My peer group was exceptional! Very helpful and supportive. The annual meeting was laid out very well and was motivating!

Cons

All levels of Management should know their numbers and the cause and effect of not meeting budget. This isn't a requirement at Advance America.
