Pros

Self-Directed Business model. That's about it!

Cons

No Raises, poor benefits, Management uses 'fear monger" tactics to get employees to do what they want. Profit Sharing is a joke and has now been delayed for almost a month due to SEC investigation. Unless you are one of the Big Boys or part of the Legacy Team you are not valued and it shows!

Poorly managed and hypocritical environment

Pros

If you're good in your field of expertise, you're left alone for the most part. I pretty much make my own schedule.

Cons

They preach business advocacy, caring about customers, managing human capital, YET they could care less about their own employees. There is no support of talent. No internal support for continuing education or bettering skill sets. All you on your own time and on your own dime. area managers are hypocritical. "Do as I say, not as I do".

Pros

Good salary, freedom to pursue your job duties in the way you see fit, a ton of autonomy, great people, very encouraging

Cons

Getting a raise is extremely rare, the gender wage gap seems to be alive and well here, not much room for advancement unless you're going to open a new branch, benefits are lacking, and employee perks don't exist (you are there to do a job and that is it, no Christmas bonus, no office parties, no thank you a from corporate, and highly discouraged for branches), have been investigated multiple times by the trade commission
