Pros

fun meeting and chatting with customers.

Cons

employees aren't very friendly to each other, lot of people get the run around the bush. higher management seems to not care about employees at branches. there is zero culture - as in not a very lively environment. I felt dead there.

Pros

Great Culture and great office (if you work at the headquarter in El Monte). Good place to work if you are a Chinese speaker.

Cons

Seniority tend to be overvalued. Top performers are not recognized and rewarded soon enough. Employee evaluations are often expedited by busy supervisors and are not accurate. Because of its aging community, coworkers are usually not open to change. Most of us still have office 2003 installed on our desktop. Training is unorganized but satisfactory.
