Pros

You will learn great customer service techniques/experience. In addition to that you will gain valuable general office experience attached to a full time job. In other words it is a great resume builder for me. Not only that, but you do help run a branch and help manage day to day logistics. Time management/multi-tasking is another great thing. You will gain more experience on cars, insurance companies, card companies, and computer skills.

Cons

You will have to work long hours on low pay, and deal with many interrupted plans/inconveniences. In addition to that you will be pressured to make almost impossible sales goals or face being written up. Three write ups and you are eligible for termination. This doesn't matter how hard you work, sweat, and go out of your way, without the sales you're slowly on your way out. If you can't convince people to buy overpriced insurance when they already pay for their own, do not go for this job.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
