      Pros

      99% of customers are awesome as are the coworkers.

      Cons

      Although they've add some newer technology we're still are years behind everyone else & the sales technology is too labor intensive & too wasteful as far as paper goes . Have power hungry supervisors and a manager who only cares about himself.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very strong Can-Do attitude Strong sense of identity Strong commitment to their customers Large scale allows them to achieve big things Comparatively low salary but big bonuses allows them to adapt to housing downturns with minimal layoffs

      Cons

      Rapid growth thru acquisition means some departments are better run than others (for example, with 14,000 employees they had NO sexual harassment training - unthinkable in 2019). Lack of definition in some corporate roles leaves employees to fend for themselves High variation in quality of management Rapid turnover in executive leaders (2017-2019) Annual reviews are check the box Go-go-go attitude doesn't allow for employee coaching or development
