      Pros

      They have decent benefits, paid travel for training, opportunity to move around the country.

      Cons

      Entry level pay is lacking. Definitely a boys club. "Locker Room Talk" was common and at the branch I worked, they were very concerned with accepting and expecting you to accept the industry's attitudes concerning women, instead of changing it. I left due to it, but there are also many long term employees.

      A Career in Credit/Collections

      Financial management trainee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Quick experience in AR, Credit, and Collections. No education required to make a long-term career in "finance".

      Cons

      I never understood the phrase "good ol boys club" until I started working here. The company is run by sales department. All other support departments are treated not so well. It seems like most employees are afraid to leave because they don't want to give up their employee stock. It did not feel like a healthy work environment. Always walking on eggshells trying to balance fine line between sales goals and finance goals.

      Thanks for leaving a review. We strive to create an environment where every employee feels supported and we are sorry to hear that was not your experience. As a sales organization, a large percentage of our employees are directly involved in sales and many others directly support our sales staff. However we do not wish to foster an environment where any employee or department is treated as lesser. All of our employees and departments are integral to the success of our organization.
