Pros

Great culture, atmosphere, laid-back/casual, entertaining days

Cons

Large company, you are just a number, told me lots of room for promotions / changing positions. Told me if you didn't hit your numbers, it's okay. Hit my numbers and was fired 3 months later along with 70 other employees.

Pros

Decent entry level job for new graduates if you have no professional background. Immediate benefits, reimbursement for test(still have to upfront the initial costs and hope you don’t fail or you are subject to termination before you even start). Also felt they were a bit prejudice by some of my personal experience with the office jokes and treatment before exiting the position.

Cons

The pay is a lie even with commission, it’s like a frat house, a lot more cold calling and sales than financial decision making. This job is not going to develop your skills in the financial or business sector. It’s best if you’re maybe looking to build your way into a firm sales or marketing path. Also felt they were a bit prejudice by some of my personal experience with the office jokes and treatment before exiting the position.

Pros

Extremely relaxed work environment & have the flexibility to work from home if needed. Great co workers & people. Fun events & branded clothing

Cons

Has definitely grown faster than they expected & you can tell. Cycles of mass hiring followed by mass layoffs. Everyone is very siloed so instead of working cooperatively cross departments, everyone is trying to pass the buck. Because the company has grown so fast, the people currently in leadership roles aren’t great leaders.
