Pros

Fast and easy interview process.

Cons

No raises (ever). If you want a pay increase it will only be through a promotion. INCREDIBLY poor benefits. How does ZERO time off your first year of employeement sound? Or 1 week of PTO after working there a year? This is truly a company that does not put any value in their employees. As if this wasn't enough, the "bullying" culture runs rampant throughout every part of this organization. From the CEO (who threatened to take up an employee issue "out in the parking lot"), to the uneducated managers that gossip and pit people against each other. No matter what the job offer is from this company RUNNNNN.

Pros

The position is part of a unit which makes working as a team that much easier. Lots of decision making abilities if you like taking the lead. Working as part of a unit allows you to learn and understand everyone's job (i.e., Risk, Payroll, HR).

Cons

The company strives on increasing the amount of businesses they partner with. This tends to make it more difficult for each business unit to service their clients efficiently and accurately. You have to be able to keep up with the fast-pace the sales force moves at! It can be done; however, when too many processes are created and not everyone follows the same process (such as each business unit); it can cause chaos.
