Pros

Decent Pay Good Benefits Market position and competitiveness Abundant Resources, Rich company Solid company to develop your professional skills

Cons

Unrealistic goals, metrics over sales Micromanagement Toxic Politics No work life balance Company uses business phone GPS to track you on the field Managers are out of touch You’re just a number- little appreciation for your work. It is my opinion that this company should not be recognized as “One of the best employers to work for” In three years if you don’t get promoted you may want look elsewhere internally or externally.

Pros

Steady work life balance Great benefits including free counseling Decent base pay

Cons

New director sales manager Pam has brought a lot of changes that’s makes it feel more like a call center. The office joy is totally gone, they have taken a micro management approach. Once you have established good relationships with your book of customers and they are spending more they suddenly decide to take those customers from you and give them to new agents and it messes with your commission. You can only grow in the company if you know the right people. Making to many calls raises eyebrows and making. There was no guidance on how to contact hire ups or HR for any concerns you might have had.
