Pros

Overall the training for the position was very good. The office setting was comfortable, and most sit at a large desk. They also give you free food on some occasions.

Cons

The company is very cheap. You have to basically beg for a pen to use and they would not provide notepads. Even though you sit at a nice desk, everyone is out in the open and there is no privacy. You are constantly monitored from how long you are on the phone with a client, tax person, or branch. In addition, leaving your desk is made into a big issue. Even though they tell you any mistake can be corrected, I would advise not making any. Even when it is corrected, it is thrown back into your face after they listen to one of your monitored phone calls.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
