Pros

Retirement contributions and preferential treatment for minorities (if you are one)

Cons

Selectively drop securities licenses of straight white males while maintaining the same licenses for anyone that is a minority, female, or LGBTQ. Handicaps straight white males from moving up by selectively dropping licenses. If you are a veteran you will have the slowest upward mobility out of all groups unfortunately. Employees were able to accurately predict promotions based on gender, sexual preference, and race instead of job performance. Witnessed the CEO provide his contact information to any fellow minority while ignoring straight white male counterparts completely. Despite being asked to help train dozens of new reps in sales skills only to watch them advance in front of the people assisting with their development.

Pros

Lots of training and support. Minimal marketing required. Strong company name recognition. Strong compensation package. Positive approach to problem solving and conflict resolution. Continuously improving systems designed to keep this well established company on the cutting edge in a rapidly changing and highly Competative industry.

Cons

Recycled leads without sufficient asset opportunity, plus unrealistic sales quota increases from year to year and micromanagement of the sales process, create an environment that hinders success.
