Pros

Unlimited opportunity if sacrifices are willing to be made - relocation/work hard. Great benefits - agency and operations Very close culture - very small-feeling large corporation It's nice to work for the largest/the best in a particular industry Mentoring Opportunities Fair pay structure on operations side Agency culture is the envy of the industry - the very best Diversity among employees

Cons

Technology lags and can be limiting - a "big ship to turn" they tell us Managers often have trouble being leaders rather than managing Very conservative overall - not a bad thing perhaps a bit naive in some way. Slow to change but it's getting better Company is slow to respond to demands of society - to recognize them

Pros

Great company culture. Good people who actually help one another and look out for our client's best interests.

Cons

Beware of becoming an agent. Due a LOT of research first and understand that you are not being judged solely on measurable performance, but also "Core Competencies" which give leadership the ability to refuse you a permanent contract without concrete explanations even if production goals are achieved. Also, beware of the financial projections they provide you with. They tend to show much more positive financial results than actually occur.
