Pros

Decent raises, decent retirement plan contributions, decent vacation policy, no more time-keeping system (Tenrox was abysmal), some managers have already been fired, some are rumored to be on notice.

Cons

Incompetent managers, too many managers, little hope of better managers. Our management is, for the most part, not from the retirement industry and, therefore, does not know how to be proactive enough in the basic management/re-organization of the division. None of our floor managers are up to date enough in the systems or the legal aspects of the business to be able to actually do their jobs.

Pros

Good company with generally good leadership. Good salaries and benefits.

Cons

Company is going through growing pains with recent acquisitions. What made the company unique and close is now a thing of the past. New processes are rolled out with an expectation of efficiencies and savings but they don't match the reality.
