Pros

Some of the people in the office/other branches were great and I continue to have friendships with them to this day.

Cons

If you’re a young professional, say good bye to seeing the inside of an office. You’re 100% in the field with no room to learn other parts of the job and grow your own client network and report writing. The dynamic between the leadership group (Amber Ahles and Brooke Bennett) and younger professional (especially females) was terrible. This was a mean girls club where you are judged by what you wear, what time you walk in and out of the door, and if you had an opinion. They never would take accountability for failing the younger professionals and then just blame you for not growing and improving at the pace they wanted you to. At the end of the day, management and leaders are responsible for the growth and success of the team. Additionally, if you want to be bullied by mid level professionals, who think they are superior to you and gang up with management, this is the place. Johnnie Noles will take care of that for you. In all, the only good thing this job brought me, was the “experience” to take myself anywhere but there. The way you treat people matters. And these three people single handily ruined the experience for me and others I have spoken with. Do better.
