Pros

Good pay working from home, benefits, they provide the equipment, diverse, all about change, and my classmates seemed friendly.

Cons

Training is ridiculously outrageous!! It's a lot of information they want you to have in a short time, with NO exceptions!!!!! You only get one chance on your exam, you have four to take, one each week for five weeks, and the score is 85%-90%!!! if you fail, which is below the grade I just posted, you are FIRED, after two test out of the four!! They take roll call, if you miss, you are FIRED!!! If your system is down, and you can't get proof, you are FIRED!!! It's all great when you enter the door, but let there be a mistake, or you fail, nobody has your back!!! And you can't get help from anyone, but your loving classmates, and at first MGMT stopped that, the supervisors and trainers definitely won't do it!!

Thank you so much for your feedback. Our commitment to creating "Raving Fans" does require the highest level of commitment from all our team members. We have found that the 5 week training program is necessary to get our new team members up and running. There is a tremendous amount to learn, and we do try to make that clear during the interview process. We have extremely high expectations of everyone joining the team. Our attendance policy is necessary to keep our level of service at it's best. I will look into our interviewing process to determine where this was missed. It is an expectation from day one, and I do want to make sure that we are clearly stating that from day one. I am so sorry that you never felt that there were people here to help. The HR team, Learning and Training Team,. and IT Team are all here for our team members. We do have work to do, and I do appreciate you taking the time to give us your feedback. Thank you, Bill Murray CHRO@abcfinancial.com

Pros

The team culture here is truly outstanding, everyone is incredibly welcoming and goes out of their way to make new members feel included from day one. The collaborative atmosphere makes it easy to ask questions and get support, regardless of your role or experience level. People are genuinely kind, approachable, and eager to share their knowledge. It's a great environment for learning and growing, especially as an intern.

Cons

Everyone on the team is extremely busy, which means projects can sometimes lack clear structure or defined goals. It can be difficult to get dedicated time from mentors or leads to move initiatives forward, so projects may feel somewhat ambiguous or slow to progress. Being proactive is a must, as things can get lost in the shuffle when everyone has a lot on their plate.
