Pros

Free slushies and popcorn. Management is not micromanaging and riding you. They try and have fun in the day, think playing corn hole, horse shoes and treasure hunts. Razor scooters all over the office. Good bonus plans.

Cons

To hit high bonuses you have to work a min of 50 hours per week, often more than that. They don't pay overtime even though the min workweek required is 50 hours. So the bonuses end up not being much if you consider the fact that any other company would have been paying over time. They recently changed the bonus plan which greatly reduced the per loan bonus.

Pros

Licenses are paid for by the company The early trainings are effective Strong values that help set employees on the right path of actions professionally

Cons

"Limitless compensation" is oversold when there may not be ample opportunities to make a 6 figure income that they might promise. Work/Life Balance is a struggle as it is normal to assume 60+ hour weeks outside of internal sales competitions, and 70+ hour expectations during those periods The work culture can greatly vary based on your director and regional VP. Some are amazing, and care deeply. Others will throw you under the bus without second thought because you are easily replaceable.
