Huge disappointment

Pros

Convenient location for running errands.

Cons

This place was a huge let-down. It's very political and not a place that rewards or acknowledges a job well done. Loyalty and respect are non-existent. Self-preservation is the key at all costs. I seriously question the moral compass of many people there. As far as actual work environment, the lack of communication is the worst I've experienced. Trust no one and be leery of everyone. Benefits and morale are lousy. Not female-friendly.

Pros

Pretty good benefits for the industry although we have watched a decline in the last few years of the company wanting to give bonuses/pay for healthcare. Pretty flexible with time off and understanding when life happens for the most part, and most co-workers are nice. The job itself is not too bad if you can keep from getting distracted with gossip and cliques, and keep numbers up. Its a pretty easy workload (when you aren't having to jump in to help the slackers).

Cons

Two words: DOUBLE STANDARD. There is a very big double standard here. I've watched them crack down on the dress code and send people home for wearing the SAME THING the favorites and supervisors get away with wearing all the time. Expect to have to follow rules that don't apply to the group of favorites. Like having to be available for phone calls but the 'favorites' don't have to. They also tell you your numbers have to be at a certain percentage to work overtime, or to be promoted, but that rule does not apply to all. Same when it comes to getting written up. They never write anybody up for anything. ANYTHING! But recently they started writing people up for low numbers, but not everybody who has low numbers. If you have been here a long time, certain rules don't apply. I worked here for years and its getting worse. Management does nothing. They promote their faves. You can't say anything to HR because its NOT anonymous and your job will be in jeapordy if you do. The manager is nice but he only helps enable the double standard. He does nothing if you report how its unfair. But he will always defend his faves, which are more like his friends. HR does nothing. Kind of sad because this used to be a great place to work. Also, the company has grown the insurance department in the last few years but it has gotten so unorganized, nobody follows the same policies when keying insurance, its unfair to the borrowers. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody finds out and files a lawsuit. Glad I got out of there when I did.

Pros

Co-workers are great and most management is adequate. There is a nice open door policy and for the most part I feel like I can ask questions without fear

Cons

The level of employee perks have gone done dramatically over the past two years. Healthcare is no longer payed for, gym membership is only compensated up to 15 dollars(only after submitting a form on a monthly basis). The last two years they have not given Christmas bonuses due to financial mismanagement.
