Pros
The company is profitable and there can be a lot of money to be made for producers. People are friendly for the most part.
Cons
The national organization that is supposed to be providing the governance, support and standards for local offices is abysmal. It's embarrassing for local offices to look up to people who continually disappoint us with their bad choices or follow through. Leadership pockets profits instead of making real investments into the business that will generate long-term success, like quality hires. There's a reason you don't see many, if at all, top tier executives here. They need someone with experience running a profitable national company... and no, running sales does not count. Instead, many in management have either never held leadership roles outside the Alliant family or have never done so for a 500+ employee company. Now they run this 5,000+ employee company like it's still a local shop. One of the things they tout is that even the leadership team services clients. That would be great if this was a Burger King, where the manager flips burgers from time to time when he's needed. But you're trying to be a professional, national company with a $5B valuation. We need a full-time, focused leadership team.
