Pros

Variety of work, variety if clients, ability to cross train and move to different positions and offices, people I work with are great, freedom to work out of the office

Cons

Lack of technology, there will isn’t anything bad compared to other places. We have to work in the office sometimes or dealing with irritating clients, but that’s not even that bad.

False Promises/Bad Upper Management

Pros

Get paid on time. Will keep bad employees - so if you're not a hard worker and like to cause drama, this could be for you. Work with some other good people. Ummm... I have my own desk. Other than that, there really isn't too many pro's.

Cons

Keep bad employees. Benefits are terrible. Insurance is expensive, limited and low amounts of paid time off, receive only the federal holidays off, no employee appreciation, pay is low, non-existent bonuses (which we are told is to be part of our salary). Even when expected to bonus, corporate always seems to screw us out of our bonus. No salary raises - basically have to beg and plead for a pay raise. No advancement, training, or growth opportunities - yet claim that there is. Unless part of the "boys" (CEO's group of friends) will never advance in company. Express your opinions and the iron fist comes down. Management and sales always going on "business" trips, golf events, dinners, conventions, meetings, etc. and charge all expenses to the branch which then effect bonuses. So we lower level employees get to pay for management's parties and fun. Low-tech company. Have terrible computer systems for payroll, staffing, HR, etc. My phone is fast than the computers. No values.
