Pros

The pay wasn't bad compared to most of the jobs you get without a college education. They also had bonus incentives for selling their products. I made I made out ok because I worked my butt off.

Cons

You work behind a thick glass wall and you are not permitted to leave until your shift is over. They allow people to smoke in there so you go home smelling like a nightclub. I have even had some customers complain the the lobby smells like a nightclub. They worked our schedule out to where we had one day off one week and two the next. 50 + hours a week in a prison cell. You have to lock your register with a key so other employees don't steal the money in your till. There is also an alarm system that includes a garage opener type of box that triggers the alarm. They aren't seperate for all the stores so if someone at another store in the vecinity feels like it they can drive by your store and set your alarm off. This happened to me a lot. Everytime you recieved a false alarm they charged you $50. There is also very high turnover.

Pros

Benefits and Compensation. The company offers 401K program that kicks in after one year of service, they match 20% of your contributions. The bonus plan varies every year, but generally you can make up to 60% of your base salary

Cons

Working 60+ hours per week. Very destructive competitive corporate culture mentality, East and West divisions do not share any information that could help the entire company achieve its goals. A myriad of financial products to work with and not enough training. The way district managers operate their centers varies greatly among the company. Company does not believe in the use and implementation of security cameras, the company handles millions of dollars a day and they refuse to install video cameras in each retail location.

Pros

none at present used to be better. It is sad that they have lost there way!

Cons

work life balance, unprofessional upper management, "we'll fire you " is company mantra, poor development for lower employees, promotion by termination whether ready or not, soliciting calls for legal lobbying is unprofessional. Horrible turnover never seen 95% turnover rate before in my life you should be ashamed, lack of focus on development of management for the next step. lack of leaders that know how to influence people and find ways to hep them succeed.
