Pros

Great branch level leadership with a strong culture of doing what's right for the customer and the other employee owners. Folks at the branches have lots of opportunities within their branches.

Cons

If you can't or won't live in Fargo, you can only grow so much with this company. The corporate office often overlooks talent when it has to look past it's home city.
