Pros

Autonomy My branch had good people Mostly good clients trying to grow their business

Cons

The executive team is seriously out of touch. The reviews might seem a bit harsh but I worked here for several years...they’re simply not nice people and it’s a struggle to want to work for them. The only saving grace will be how well your branch manager runs interference. The annual meetings are a total joke. The concept of zero raises is 100% true as is the culture of almost never promoting. If you’ve had a good career and want to find a nice pasture to live out your career it’s fine. Just be prepared to live or die by the work comp expense to your branch. At the end of each quarter that’s all that really matters to your bonus.
