A company that's like a family

Pros

People treat you like family, compensation and vacation time are very generous, and almost all employees are State Farm Nice. The company promotes heavily from within, and it's easy to work your way up quickly if you are dedicated and good at what you do.

Cons

Employees are not always very driven. Company hires the best fits for its culture, not the best people at their jobs. Promotion is only from within, so you start at the bottom if you're an external hire. The company is conservative: almost all change is very slow.

Pros

Great job, if you find the right agency owner Friendly people Good experience

Cons

Pick the wrong owner and you will get nothing while they reap off your hard work Easy for owners to start being stingy with rewards Older owners, 30+ years, seem to be stingier than the others

Pros

Lots of knowledgeable people - you just have to find them and hope they don't get re- assigned!

Cons

- company plays favorites - work until you burn yourself out, but that won't always get you ahead...
