Pros

If you work as an employee in a branch, you will learn so much about what does and doesn't work when you are looking for your next job. They will train just about anyone, even if they don't have prior experience, so it can be a good place to get your start in the workplace.

Cons

Cutbacks, layoffs and continuous losses since 2008 have created a cutthroat, paranoid office culture where everyone is afraid that they are next. If you are an associate (temporary) worker, it is hit or miss depending on the branch staff at your location. In my state, there are lots of offices with different levels of employee commitment, skill and experience.

They convince you the culture is great, so you don't notice you are a pawn.

Pros

The people I worked with were great -- hard-working, intelligent, dedicated, and genuinely nice people. For the most part, I liked the work I was given. The flexible hours almost made up for the sub-standard pay scale.

Cons

It took me some time to realize I was pigeon-holed, and that working hard and producing great results was never going to get me a promotion. And based on their actions, I am not sure if upper management is more interested in growing the company long-term, or in boosting the stock price short-term.
