No work/life balance, even though they preach dedication to balance.

Pros

Working from home, management was great about offering new/updated equipment and programs.

Cons

Zero work life balance. Very resistant to changing current processes. Making even the smallest changes requires miles of red tape. Even if you go above & beyond, your efforts won't be recognized. Not many options tor growth.

Pros

What ever they tell you is "going well".

Cons

What is actually occurring day to day. Changes in job structure that were not a part of original hire/contractual terms. You may think you're signing up for one role and as management see's fit you can be obligated to commit a large portion of your day to day to working a completely different role part-time that has no connection to your commission structure or career development, (Ex. A fully licensed Financial Advisor being required to work partially as a call center representative to handle withdrawal requests) Increase after increase in non-related job responsibilities that did not come with a fair and balanced pay adjustments. Commission structure being changed constantly as they "try to find the right balance" for 2+ years now and yet somehow never do. Lack of career development opportunities (contributed to by the aforementioned) More teammates being hired and quitting then being promoted.
