CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the planners are very knowledgeable and appreciate their CSAs

Cons

Some of the CSA regional managers do not know what their employees are doing and therefore cannot lead. Pay is dismal in proportion to the amount of work. Systems suck for the most part a lot of bugs Bonuses are minimal if at all existent Favoritism Expect no more that a 3% annual pay raise Bottom line is this place sucks!

Great Opportunity

Client service associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company. Good opportunities for growth. They could do better to compensate CSAs for the heavy workload. Great place to learn. There is room for advancement but you have to be patient, a lot of employees stay a long time. That is a good sign.

Cons

Since people stay a long time, it can be hard for certain roles to be available; particularly if you’re interested in becoming an advisor.
