Pros

The training is great. Great starting place for people looking to get in the industry. It's not hard to succeed here. If you are motivated and refuse to be complacent, it is easy to outperform the average worker and position yourself for advancement. People who complain about the entry level positions are ones who are stuck there because they refuse to work hard enough to move on. The company is very ethical and client focused.

Cons

Mid level management is too inconsistent. One manager's style will differ drastically from the next. I understand everyone has their own way of doing things, but it feels like there should be more consistency.

Pros

company probably most ethical in Financial Services total pay good for new hires

Cons

limited raises under new pay structure expected to be average/above average for too many metrics. expect odd hours in the call centers- difficult to change shifts later most classroom training is subpar/lot's of learning on the job- leads to inconsistency seems unlikely to return to days of 200% bonus target
