Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, good people, good management

Cons

They're in a tough market (core). They need to sell volume to meet their bottom line. The only problem is that their sales are outpacing their capacity to implement the plans. They are working hard to staff implementation, they just aren't there yet. As of right now the plan load per consultant is way too high so the work is stressful and unfulfilling. The pay does not meet the work being done. I left after 3 months and I've never left a job in 22 years suddenly. Management is great and the training staff even better. They will get this figured out. Right now though, sales needs to put the brakes on for a little while to let the business staff appropriately and catch up. I see great potential in their core market. They have the right people in place, there is a major imbalance right now between sales and what implementation is capable of with current staffing. I emphasize RIGHT NOW. If considering this job I would ask where they are as far as staffing for the volumes. Right around 10-12 plans per consultant would work. They're working on it, just make sure they're there before committing.
