Pros

Good compensation, good support from team- corporate realizes the challenges it has created and is addressing them. Company really cares about its people. Flexible work schedule. Equipment is good. Large amount of resources. They always pay their bills and it's nice to work for someone who does.

Cons

Big corporate structure- lots of policies- handcuffed when just trying to take care of customers. Margins sometimes put us out of the game to win work. Very difficult to provide academy service when estimates don't have enough hours in them.

Pros

Good employees. Standard benefits package. No cap on commissions. Occasional catered meals.

Cons

Unfortunately, as with any large publicly traded company the goal is to keep investors pleased and there is high pressure to perform and grow business in an economic climate where stability is more realistic than growth. The company is structured by different branches, that function as their own cost center while reporting numbers to corporate. This structure makes sense on paper, but unfortunately leads to fractured relationships between branches and departments, leading to a loss of potential revenue. There is favoritism with the top earners being handed their accounts and not having to do much actual hunting or prospecting. Health insurance is very expensive with high deductibles. Usage of company car is deducted from paycheck. A large majority of what is performed could be considered "field work" that most companies would hire hourly employees to do and would qualify as overtime.
