Pros

If you are happy with a dull, drab path to nowhere and a below average commission plan this is the place to be. Well known Stable $5B company. Great health and benefits Lots of data available to sell

Cons

Horrendous compensation plan. Get an attorney to review it before you sign it. Promotions are based on internal politics. Don't go here if you want to make more than $200K. Largely Incompetent management structure. Happy to be part of the 3-bureau Oligopoly and makes virtually no efforts past that. Tries to enter business verticals that they do not understand and compounds the problems by placing incompetent and inexperienced leaders in the roles to lead the organisation. Leadership comp is based on EBIT, sales people are paid on what delivers - a clash of interests. Consistently hires a higher than average percentage of lazy sales people who add no value to the company.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
