No work life balance.

Pros

Work from home opportunities, flexible scheduling, career advancement opportunities. Extensive training is offered to those new to the company (about 1 month of training).

Cons

Far too much emphasis is placed on "getting the work done at any cost." Overtime is pretty much a guarantee just to survive. If you do survive, your workload gets bumped and your just expected to do more. There is no personal aspect with this position. You're a cog in the "big machine." Systems are outdated and are always being revamped.

Pros

Great place the learn about the financial services industry and to get financial licenses. Strong entry level position with potential to earn good money quickly. Open door policy. Typical sales environment.

Cons

Working for a subsidiary of Hartford means very little access to the corporate office. Therefore, career advancement opportunities are poor. Family run business so nepotism is present determining who received promotions. Truely a top down organization.

Pros

Compensation & benefits adequate. They try to keep communication lines open from corporate in CT to employees in MN.

Cons

Old technology and rely on off-shore team from India to support systems that they don't understand. Recent layoffs made matters worse as they kept the people who were responsbile for our bleak situation and let go many who were making a difference.
