Pros

The trips. But you somehow pay for them. They are never "free". The training is very good. But if you leave too soon, you owe them the tuition!! And Penny Pennington, new CEO, seems respectable.

Cons

If you are considering this fine firm, take off your rose-colored glasses and really perform your due diligence. It is not all sunshine and lollipops people. They will become your WORST nightmare if you stop drinking their juice. You are never truly an entrepreneur as they lead one to believe. THEY OWN YOU and every client you worked hard to obtain. Should you ever leave? That sweet mid-western dimply facade suddenly falls to the wayside and you'll quickly learn you are the David to their Goliath. They are known in the industry for their crude and bullying ways.

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
