Business Outlook

Pros

- Progressive values - Benefits are amazing (med, dent, vis, lots of holidays, expense perks: personal fit, phone, internet, etc.) - Autonomy (not micromanagers) - Growth opp's - Love the open/transparent communication within the team - Work/life balance (rarely overtime, very respectful of your time) - Agents you work with are amazing people

Cons

- Although there are lots of growth opportunities, the path for growth is unclear and from what I've seen, not fairly given out. This aspect is very sticky. - Upper management is out of touch with employee ambitions/professional needs.

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing work/life balance and schedule flexibility.

Cons

The training is minimum, there is no follow up from managers to see how training is going or get feedback. There is no shadowing nor hands on training, all of it is virtual. You might get hired for one position but will change it without negotiating title, responsibilities, and/or salary. Overall it has been a terrible
