Pros

can't think of a single one. the list of cons is so long wouldn't matter anyway.

Cons

Culture is schizophrenic. Leadership is horrible. No value in people except perhaps very few who never worked anywhere else.

Pros

very few...terrible place to work

Cons

The office is cliquey, and training is a joke. There is a lot to learn with three days of training, that was sped through, and everyone seemed to be confused as to why you didn't know anything when you asked questions. It's a cut throat office. The manager has no idea what his employees are up to. It was unorganized. It was the worst job I ever stepped into. I would not work here. It was a waste of time. Very stressful.

Pros

Long track record for stability, respected brand by retail agents and decent pay for employees with performance based bonus initiatives.

Cons

Many unfavorable changes at the Sr. Management level with key long term regional and home office people leaving for "retirement" or other career opportunities. Horrible rating and policy issuance systems; everything requires "work arounds". Company prefers to build its own systems and they are inefficient, outdated and make it hard to compete. The focus is on agent and not the employee. Management has a "let them eat cake" mentality; very elitist group.
