Pros

Reasonably good pay, good benefits, great coworkers and staff. Lovely lunch area with lots of microwaves and fridges! Even ice and water machines!

Cons

Management has been neutered. Even management will admit that they have no power, just a title with a small salary increase. Some sales people make 3 times what management makes. Every email you receive will be CC'd to your manager, director, VP, and a few other clowns you never interact with. My direct manager is an amazing person, working 50+++ hours a week just to ensure the ship is run appropriately. There should be multiple managers, but they chose to hire a wooden puppet (Pinochhio) as a new director. He's there to tell lies and cut incentives on the VP's behalf, because VP is too passive to publicly announce anything negative.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
