Pros

People are always leaving the company so positions are always open if you want to climb the ladder. They have benefits but they aren't very good. The pay is ok for entry level but the increase in rate through years is very limited.

Cons

Employee turnover is horrendous, recognition is basically obsolete. Management is unorganized and conniving. There is very little incentive to stay within the company because they have unrealistic expectations for their reps in regards to client satisfaction. They have a tendency to try and sugar coat everything and never provide the employees with any real information as to the direction the company is going. There is no unification throughout the branches which will often make you feel like each branch in the nation is a completely different company.
