Pros

Works stays at work, salary, licensing support - meaning they pay for it, thats it...

Cons

Commute: Office is in an expensive area so hard to live near it. Expectations for you tonstudy in your off time are unreasonable. Most peo6hired are new to finance. You're learning a new job AND they want you to spend the litttime off you have "making progress" on your licensing. Micromanaged to the 'T'. Beginning 2023 the service role became a hard-core sales position with metrics displayed daily and punishment of t days in the office if you didn't hit the marks. MS is poaching all of the stock plan accounts and having clients pull them into their firm, at the detriment of maintaining the accounting and safeguards that are in place for these very specific account types. All the metrics that are pounded into our lives daily mean nothing. My expected conversion rate was 3%... I hit 22% and my bonus was non existent. Total demotivator! No reason to overextended yourself for these people. Very stressful environment. Neverending expectations and no rewards. 8.5 hrs work days with 2 * 15 minute breaks and 1* 30 minute lunch... LOTS OF SITTING and no time to really get to know you're colleagues. It's like being in prison... maybe worse cause you get no time outside... you have to choose, get fresh air, eat or use the bathroom- can't do them all Get your license and get out!

Pros

It is a friendly work environment—at least at the Gilbert office. Colleagues are very helpful, and managers are highly supportive of your work. I enjoy working here; there is no office politics. The pay is good, and there are plenty of opportunities to transfer to different roles.

Cons

The new system is nowhere near as good as the old one; I don't know why we were forced to switch. Sometimes, even after you submit a workflow, the new system doesn't even show it. There are plenty of opportunities to transfer to other roles, but applications go completely unanswered. You have to contact HR, yet they barely seem to care. It’s essentially a call center; even though your colleagues are great, you never know if the next customer might ruin your entire day.
