Pros

Remote work, expense pretty much anything, great product, a lot of intelligent, hard-working, client centric co-workers. I made the most money I ever made there, but it was not worth it.

Cons

TLDR: DON'T WORK THERE UNLESS YOU HATE YOURSELF. Nepotism runs the organization. There are a few sales people that have been there since around Series-A that get cart blanche to act and say however they want, whine about lead flow (while being at the top of lead volume) and no matter how many meetings they have with HR about their bad attitude or inappropriate actions, etc...those same reps always seem to get off scotch free, get lay-down leads put in their lap, and even promoted....at the direction of the CRO....almost like they have some dirt on him. When it came time for promotions, the Regional Directors (who spend every day with their reps) were not allowed to make any recommendations or provide feedback on who should get promoted....only the CRO... I was told at 6pm the night before who I was to "promote" the next morning. There was a rep who didn't get promoted because he had a down couple of months after blowing out his quota and getting to PClub within 6 months....but he wasn't one of the original Series-A crew. They tout the "MOD" bucks as a way to incentivize performance, because salaries are way under par, but the PAMs (partner account managers) sandbag until the end of the month and put in crap leads for the AEs to try and close last minute to hit their number, and then are blamed when the company has a down month. The PAMs are paid more on lead flow than on actual revenue that their leads bring in, so there's no incentive for quality...just quantity. I'd be curious to see how long the CRO can keep up this charade with how many rumors are flying about who filed an HR claim against him, or him saying inappropriate "politically driven" things on company calls. I hope I'm wrong because it could hurt a lot of people, but I don't see the current business model lasting much longer. They are paying for leads from payroll companies/cpas/bookkeepers, etc. Paying their customers "rebates" to buy. Paying the ridiculous expense accounts of the PAMS, and having a ton of issues with actually getting 401k plans to start, and when they do, they have issues because their payroll "integrations" is most of the time someone hand-keying things and still not eliminating the human error that was promised. Sure seems like a lot of out-flow for a $150/mo service. The people with the most experience in the retirement industry are leaving the company in droves (3 VPs this year, and the head of the investment committee). Take their lead and don't ever start.

Pros

- Opportunity to make a real-world difference through purpose-driven work. Human Interest is helping expand access to retirement benefits for millions of hardworking Americans. It's rewarding to be part of a mission that creates meaningful outcomes for so many people (even our team! - we use our own product). - Strong culture and genuinely good people. Leadership is approachable, and there is a real willingness to listen to feedback. - Compensation and benefits are competitive and generally aligned with effort and results. Hard work is appreciated. - Decisions are made quickly. While not every decision is perfect, the company is willing to adapt and pivot when data or outcomes suggest a different path. - Teammates are collaborative and supportive. Many employees genuinely care about helping each other succeed.

Cons

- The pace of change can be challenging. Priorities, processes, and organizational structures may shift frequently. - Rapid decision-making sometimes creates uncertainty or change fatigue for the frontline team. - Communication around large-scale changes can occasionally lag behind execution. - High expectations and workload can make work-life balance difficult during peak periods (high-growth company).
