Pros
There are seriously too many to list all of them but i'll try. The onsite gym is a MAJOR plus in my book. Your coworkers really do become your family here, and not the weird kind of family that you're forced to spend time with but the family you actually get excited about coming to work to see. Your managers and superiors actually care about you. They take time out of their day to make sure you know everything you need in order to be successful at your job and will guide you through difficult processes. Smith is the largest company in our sector of business making sales extremely easy. Don't get me wrong, it's still a sales job so there's a grind to it, but if you get someone on the phone who is in need, it doesn't take much convincing to pitch Smith to them. The ownership cares about its employees. As an example, during Harvey several employees were affected and the owners kindly offered a substantial amount of money to anyone who lost vehicles or homes and even offered company vehicles to those individuals in the meantime. They constantly put on work functions focused on team building/bonding and top earning sales individuals are allowed to travel to the different locations across the globe to learn from other teams. It's a wonderful work environment and easily the best job I've ever had. 401k match is great and benefits are amazing.
Cons
Smith is the company I plan on retiring at so it's tough to find cons to working here. The only thing I can think to say is that if you're interested in a sales position be prepared to grind. This job is fun and in a wonderful environment but it's still work and you have to come in prepared to pick up the phone all day long. It's the only way you'll be a successful trader here.
