Lack of organizational structure, leadership, and talent strategy has created an environment ripe for implosion

Pros

Significant compensation potential (until the commission structure changed) Benefits are decent Great job if you're a self-starter and have zero expectation for a teamwork environment

Cons

Siloed, decentralized branch offices compete against one another for new business No training curriculums or professional development opportunities offered Disjointed on-boarding process Far behind the curve from a HR technology standpoint (company operated without a CRM for over 30 years!; branch offices all use separate spreadsheets or niche tools for customer relationship management)

Pros

None except meeting some nice people

Cons

Don’t pay you the IRS mileage rate they pay less. No vacation until one year. Toxic environment want to take on clients that can’t even meet payroll. Company is smoke and mirrors and is terribly run from the branch offices to the top
