      Pros

      Great environment; focused on development - with opportunities to develop; Leaders keep it real; believes in corporate responsibility and lives it; family atmosphere - teamwork matters and is rewarded. Global company. Looks to do things well and with integrity. Cares about the customer.

      Cons

      Good ole boys club in many areas... If you're not a boy - good luck. Behind the 8 ball when it comes to reliable, cutting edge technology/systems (though this is getting better).

      Addison Branch Office - toxic Adviser (high-producer) allowed to ruin lives and careers of new Advisers. RVP allows it.

      Great Benefits, poor pay

      Pros

      The benefits offered were great, the Prenatal and Pregnancy benefits were great and had a limit on out of pocket maximum that were better than the just normal health care benefits. Not sure if its still around but was great when we were having kids

      Cons

      The pay was not great, I was located in a remote office was was getting paid less compared to counterparts that worked in Des Moines that would get paid more because of living cost was greater. Also didn't like the environment that the checkers on our work would essentially be the ones in control of us getting a raise or not. We were also limited on how many people in the department that were able to get raises due to budget limitations and it was very cutthroat.
