Pros

Was in my opinion one of the best companies to work for in the country. Culture was what made it #2 in the world, 6k employees yet owner knew my name. Forever close to my heart, knowledge gained was priceless.

Cons

Low pay compared to hours. Snow bonus was what kept us pulling the 75 hours a week.

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.
