A literal sinking ship…

Outside sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits Hybrid work model even though remote would be just fine Good company culture

Cons

The Phoenix Office is heavily micromanaged by the directors. We make 400 to 500 calls a day and get only 2-5 potential clients. The best leads seem to go to the favorites. We can only set appointments 14 days out now and that’s pretty hard to do with the lack of CFP’s available. Please be wary if you are interested in a job here. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns here.

Great for Remote Work

Principal product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work 100% remote and have the support of all within EFE. Great co-workers and benefits.

Cons

Although working remote is a benefit, it has it's down side and that is not having a way to meet with co-workers in a large setting annually. This would help to build networks.
