Pros

1. Managers are so busy filling vacancies of fleeing employees, no one holds us accountable for anything. 2. Our professional development now includes daily role playing on how to handle unprofessional, unethical and inappropriate behavior from RVP, and State Management. 3. Once average employees are suddenly valuable and desired now that the best ones are gone. Don't worry, there is still time to get in on this. More people will leave soon! 4. Casual dress code installed by new RVP. Shirts unbuttoned to mid chest, loafers with no socks. Chest hair OK.

Cons

1. Real lack of leadership in this place. RP is disengaged. Just an old guy trying to finish his career and get out. Complete inability to judge talent as witnessed by the number of jerks and incompetent people in key roles who are allowed to hang on. Hiring new RVP who is unqualified for the role and creating havoc on the office is just the latest. This guy is a joke. 2. Unclear expectations and no real path for promotion. We hire incompetent people from the outside who block the way for lower level employees. People leave for much better jobs. 3. Talented people are leaving everyday. My work is growing. Morale is bad. Not confident it will be fixed until RP and RVP are gone. 4. HR has ignored serious issues for years. They are no help. 5. Sadly, our agents are suffering too. Ignored and unheard. New guy says, "Everything is great".

Pros

Benefits, Garage, Wellness Center, Vacation

Cons

Disingenuous double-talking negative management. Always trying to fix what's broken when in reality, need to take it apart and start from scratch!
