Pros

Ethical company, lives its values; great leadership (the Presidents and CEO are so accessible and genuine); financially strong; numerous opportunities; making an investment in Des Moines campus to really improve the workplace. Also, #63 on recent Forbes list of 500 best employers. That's HUGE!

Cons

As with any company with longevity in a market, some of the more tenured employees are slow to let go of the way things used to be

Pros

Great opportunity to start a career. You can legitamitely move throughout the company starting with this role.

Cons

Bad contact center environment. Back to back calls every day. They only discuss call times and never what leads to the numbers.
