Pros

-Excellent work life balance -They really promote from within, it's not just a sales pitch -Basically unlimited growth potential -They invest in the community and promote volunteering (and you get paid for it if it's during your work hours!) -All of the senior management are approachable. You never feel like you are "below" anyone else. -Amazing training program -The benefits beat out anything I have ever had before (affordable insurance, 401k, stock purchase, they even offer transportation benefits and pet insurance now!)

Cons

I can't think of any, I'm genuinely happy with my career. The only issue might be slow computer systems but they are working on that and I feel as though that's an issue at most places!

Pros

Opens doors for promotions and growth. Good compensation. Good benefits. Customer service focused.

Cons

Depending on the higher ups, not much help if you are low staffed such as your team being fired or on vacation, there isn’t much back up. No floating team. Very low annual raises.
