Pros

-Great Benefits -Incentive Bonus/Christmas Bonus was a plus -Fun staff for the most part

Cons

-Below average pay for industry/college graduates -No chance for advancement unless you relocate ( I was promoted while with the company and was completely maxed out after only 2 years as my branch) -One of their core values is opportunity, yet they will choose to hire outside of the company instead of within when politics is involved. (I witnessed this first hand at my branch with a fellow employee) -Very poor training given to employees newly hired or promoted. Sink or Swim method used. -You will feel overwhelmed in your position at this company, and little to no help will be given to you.

Pros

- The training is ample. - Time off is easy to schedule and no one impedes you. - Paid holidays are nice. - Coworkers are all friendly. - The expectations are low.

Cons

- Promotions are based on who can truckle the most, not actually who does the best job. - Incompetent people are promoted to management (see first point above). - They try to indoctrinate you in the "A-O way". - Base Salary is waaaaaaaaay too low compared to the industry (to be fair, they are one of the only companies with paid benefits, retirement, pension, Christmas bonus, and Profit Sharing). - Promotions usually only mean a 3% - 4% raise. - The place is unusually extremely biased toward women (like most women here get a 7% raise from what I hear, while men usually get a 2% annual raise). - Management always tells you what you want to hear, but they never act on it. - Management is not supportive of their employees.
