Pros

There are many resources from different departments and branches that you can reach out to. Lots of structure and systems and procedures to help you be successful. The company has a very strong benefit package in this industry. The harder you work the more rewards you have available to you and ability to move up within the company. Your able to make transfers to other branches throughout the country which leave options open. The first few years were challenging as the merger took place but 2017 has seen a more stable and consistent work environment with a direction of where the company is headed. The goals are not small but at least we have the correct leadership and culture developing to achieve them.

Cons

There are many layers within the company and changes happen all of the time as the company try’s to figure it out what systems and procedures work best. Some positions are vulnerable because at the end of the day this is a large profit driven business and you have to deliver in your position or your out. The majority of strong talent I worked with at ValleyCrest have moved on and now work at competing companies. You have to be able to adapt and be fluid or your going to become extremely frustrated. There are some really strong branches and some are terrible depending on who is in charge and the people in place.

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.
