Pros
Every year I have been at POA we have grown as a company. We currently have multiple branches in several different states which is allowing us to expand and test other marketplaces. There is never a doubt that our company will continue to profit more than the previous year. We have genuinely caring and compassionate employees that want to do anything in their power to take care of the customer. The employees rally when others are not in the office to make sure an area is not left uncovered. My managers have really been the highlight of my experience with POA. They are extremely supportive and encouraging, always pushing me to think one step further. I know how much I am valued within my branch. The branch system is a great sense of community and you really feel like you belong to a team; on the other hand, POA as a whole gives you the security of being a part of a large establishment such as 401K, Medical, PTO, etc.
Cons
We are a sales based company which means we must close out the books at the end of every sales month, this creates conflict when trying to plan/take time off. It is pretty much impossible to not be present during closing weeks. As a growth company, we are growing very quickly which has put strain on current employees - we need more! Promotions are highly likely in a sales position because of turnover but are not as readily available for service and administrative positions. Since our company is sales based and caters to the sales team, the support teams sometimes get overlooked.
