Pros

Different every day. Co-workers are helpful and supportive. Full access to LEXIS. Computer and other work tools are are good. Work life balance is pretty good.

Cons

Way, way, way too many VPs. Home Office hinders our work rather than helps. The Commercial Unit is hopeless. Arrogance in Columbus and Des Moines by not listening to people in the the field. Vindictive behavior by management is becoming ingrained.

Pros

Overall a very positive atmosphere & environment for someone just starting out in the business world. Great benefits overall for a fortune 200 employer.

Cons

I think some criticisms of the job include limited pay at times for what the position entails, also there seems to be a lack of communication between higher levels of management and those on the ground floor about what is being done to keep business within the NF.
