Best place I have EVER worked.

Pros

I love the mission and vision of this company. I love what we do, and how we help others. Everyone here is constantly encouraged by Dave and the leadership team. What we do is important, and we see it every day -whether that is going to the lobby to cheer for a debt-free scream, or Dave reading us letters sent to the company from people that appreciate FPU, EntreLeadership, Live Events, our team members, etc. I also like that there are so many facets to the company, so many different initiatives that we can be part of. Very bright future! The benefits/perks are also very good. There is always a BIG Christmas party, We get all the big holidays off, We get let out early on most Fridays of a holiday weekend, We have "Lampo lunch" once a month where the whole company has a meal together, extra week of time off per year to do volunteer work if you choose to do so, there is profit sharing (bonus). Everyone here genuinely cares for their co-workers, and are very helpful.

Cons

I honestly have not had a negative experience in my years at Lampo. I would say the company is growing so fast the office space is becoming limited, and conference rooms are hard to come by.

Once you realize you're in a cult, it's all downhill from there

Pros

The people who do all the real work. Lampo spends a lot of time interviewing people and does manage to hire some good people, but we're generally paid poorly and are expected to "volunteer" to work extra when things need to be done. I used to think I was helping people, but now it seems more like I'm just helping Dave expand his ego.

Cons

Despite what the HR plants on Glassdoor are saying, it's not a good culture. The mandatory staff meetings do little more than give Dave another platform from which to rant and management a place to pat each other on the back. For someone's who's so into working hard, we have a lot of meetings that go absolutely nowhere. I've watched Dave get crazier and crazier over the years. From the time he brought a sword and a bat to a staff meeting in which he was angry with The Tennessean to the time he brought a real, working handgun to staff meeting to teach us a lesson about gossip to his inability to humble himself and consider another point of view and railing against other Christians who are too "liberal." And seeing how much he's changed from a decent guy who seemed like he was out to help people to a money hungry control freak. No one can disagree with Dave. Even some of the best leaders we've had in the company have left. Of course no one knows why because of the "rapture" that happens with many coworkers. People will leave for another job or be fired and you may not notice for weeks that they've gone. And when asked, it's like you're talking about the dead. I guess I've just watched the place go from something good to something just weird and most of these reviews on here are being put up by HR trying to keep up the "Best Places to Work" facade. If you're looking for "work that matters," then go work with the homeless or orphans or widows in the evenings or the weekends and get a job with a company that treats you well and respects you as a whole person, not just what you do for them.

Pros

Great culture, environment of ethics, fun company-wide activities, vacation time, and opportunity to grow. Be ready to work like no one else. We have tons of fun, but don't expect to come in tomorrow and just sit back with some coffee. It is a place that rewards diligence and hard work. Bring the heat!

Cons

The base is $12k per year so be ready to start building a business and don't expect to be handed sales. They get lots of leads, but it is not an environment that caters to an inexperienced sales person. I have been able to build up some accounts, but am working diligently each day and using all the sales skills I have. Plus I came from a strong sales background with 6 years of experience.
