Pros

Excellent upper management, and leadership. Great ideas from above, wonderful 401K, benefits are good. Depending what area you are in there is job security.

Cons

Everything is very reactionary, there is no thought into future strategy when it comes to the staffing model. Answer for everything is, "Hey we can throw those people on the phones." as the search through personnel dwindles. In the Group division salaries are low, when I was working there people were spit out as soon as the ever changing metrics were not being made. Nothing was ever looked at more than the numbers, an employee may find ways to solve the company thousands of dollars a year, but if the employee did not make the metric goals, they would start the path of verbal warning, then written warning, then probation, then "We wish them well on their future endeavors."

Pros

The 401k wasn't bad. they would give you money even if you didn't contribute.

Cons

The company is based in Nebraska, so if you enjoy mom jeans, 80's hair, and a lack of general pleasentries, then this is the place for you! They really do treat people like parts of a machine not like people. The organization structure is a mess and there is so much blame game stuff going on that it is a wonder that anyone could ever get any work done. To top it off, if you tell someone something can't be done, they think that yelling at you and threatening your job will get it done. Well, you can fire all the people you want, but that won't make something that can't be done happen.

Pros

Good people to work with and culture supported a realistic work life balance.

Cons

Management was indecisive and are slow to react or build consensus. The middle management team suffered from conservative, slow moving status quo the industry has fostered for so long. Regulatory requirements and filters were a barrier for getting things done in a timely fashion.
