Pros

They do try hard to pretend to care. Some individuals do actually care but they cant care more than they care for their own jobs. Strong organization within its sector Allegedly good benefits but I have found other companies to be better. In-depth onboarding scheme and continuing training Kind coworkers

Cons

30 billion dollar company with little to show for it. Constantly taking about "economic headwinds" and why they cannot pay you the market rate for your role. They pretend like offering a $1,500 scholarship for a couple of kids is some insane charity. Its not. Its 0.00005% of their claimed $30 billion. Its offensive. 401k match is vastly uncompetitive. Strong desire for RTO, many work hybrid despite no one else on their team even being in the same time zone. Constantly changing management/executives. With this, constantly changing initiatives. Meetings. SO MANY MEETINGS. Meetings about meetings. Meetings about feelings about meetings. No regard for timeliness in meetings either. They will easily run 15 minutes over with zero acknowledgment. Middle management. These people exist to squawk like seagulls at each other in other meetings. From a day-to-day basis, they do nothing else except sit in meetings and meetings about meetings. Many people have worked for this company for many years but have never worked in their profession at another company so they dont realize how bad it is.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
