Pros

Family-oriented friendly atmosphere. Working as a team was strongly encouraged.

Cons

Managers need to be out of their offices and on the floor more often, actually observing the workflow.

Pros

It was a 3 headed dragon for upper management and none of the heads knew what the other was doing; so you could pretty much do what you wanted. Once again, Middle management had no clue because they were to busy working on "TPS reports for Lumberg and had absolutley no clue what was going on past their 90% of the time closed office doors" so you could pretty much roam freely like free range cattle or pork, your choice.... Another Pro was your portfolio was yours and you got to work it how you wanted to and as long as you were moving properties nobody yelled.

Cons

The biggest con and absolute downfall of this division of a fortune 500 company is that the senior management focused so much on quality control of exhisting accounts that they never bothered to check on their "buddy" they gave a nice cooshy 6 figure job to and negated to realize until it was too late that he allowed the entire division to all but dry up in sales. The people who were putting in 50-70+ hours a week were whacked and all upper management remained in place.

Pros

- Scheduled work week is 37.5 hours. They don't preach work/life balance but it's definitely there. - Management has a great deal of experience and have been with the company for ages. - The employees are good at what they do. Most have been brought in at an entry level position 20+ yrs ago learned the business. - No layoffs but older employees clogged the upper levels of management without having much more than very basic computer skills - Family atmosphere and small group - Benefits are decent but 401k match is with company stock.

Cons

- The software they rely on heavily was created in the 1970s and was not Windows based. - Management has a short fuse and often looked down on employees. Continuing education is not encouraged by management. - Titles mean nothing. Everyone is a AVP or VP of something so they can interact with client management. - Lack of volunteer activities/commitment to the community by this company and parent. - The facilities, the office, restrooms and break room are old. Up until 3-4 years ago, they still had a smoke room in the building.
