Pros

My first job after college and I can honestly say I am very lucky to work a for such a great company. I have been able to learn so much and grow not only as a professional, but as a person. Management from a local level all the way up to corporate have been great. The CEO and the rest of the upper management are great, it is so evident they care. They listen to feedback and make decisions that keep benefiting the company. My direct manager has been amazing. She has helped me in every aspect. She is available whenever I need assistance, have any questions, if I am struggling or just need someone to talk to. No job is perfect but working for a company that want to see you grow, celebrate your successes, advocate for team work, and have an upper management that care and know every single employee by name and not just a number comes pretty close to perfect. They offer competitive pay, great benefits, PTO, holidays, flexible work from home model, etc. There is an annual advanced training conference for all employees hosted in different cities. Corporate fly the employees out, pay for accommodations, pay for expenses, provide updated and extremely helpful training since there is always something new to learn, host a magnificent banquet, and celebrate the companies’ success. And it doesn’t stop there……. If you work hard and hit your goals, CFS awards you and a plus one with an annual incentive trip to various tropical destinations completely paid for by the company. There is also frequent team outings which are very fun and have allowed my coworkers to no longer just be colleagues to me, but close friends. I truly do enjoy my job and grateful to work for a company like CFS. I cannot wait to further my career with this great organization.

Cons

CFS hold themselves to high standards and genuinely want every employee to grow and be successful. If you don’t put in the effort, don’t work hard, don’t want to work as a team, and just want the easy way out- this company is not for you.

Thank you for your review! About 60% of our employees are working either 100% remote or in a hybrid situation. Prior to the pandemic, most of our employees worked in the office full time.

Pros

* At the branch level there are some really great people * The ESOP (equity) is nice if you can wait to retirement to collect it * Good training * Incentive trips for those who qualify but most don't

Cons

This is universal within the company, and regardless of the market, all of these comments apply. * Poor commission/compensation structure, regardless of position. Talk to a couple of other agencies first and this will be easily verified! * They use the equity you earn due to being an employee company as a selling point and a reason for the upfront/poor compensation plan. Anyone who joins now pretty much missed the boat. However, the ESOP equity is good if you plan to retire there and if you can hold out until you are in your 60's to collect it. * They say they are not a "micro-managing" company yet every activity is measured by the minute and rated against peers. * They claim they have one of the best turnover rates in the industry. Yes, they have tenured employees, but they don't tell you about the extremely high turnover rate during year one. They hire and will fire quickly. * Top producers leave because they don't respect or trust the active leadership at the top. * Leadership completely mishandled dealing with Covid. Several top producers left as a result. * Flexibility leaves a lot of room for improvement. * Diversity and inclusion is something to be recognized.

Thank you for your review! I am sorry you didn't have a positive experience. My suggestion in your future career would be that someone that is that unhappy should look to leave sooner than 5-7 years. I won't address everything mentioned, however, here are a few responses: The ESOP is a retirement plan and as in other retirement plans, you need to wait until retirement to have access to the money. CFS' average compensation in 2021 for people that have been with us at least one year was $160K. 35% of our total employees qualified for our incentive Trip to Cabo in February. CFS' rating on Glassdoor is 4.7 currently. Best of luck in your new career!
