Pros

Great co-workers whom I miss seeing on a daily basis. They were like family and really worked in a team environment where everyone helped each other out.

Cons

Where to start...Do you want to work for a company that took dedicated, well educated, and well performing FCs, and basically threw them out like yesterday's garbage? If you don't fit their ideal of a robotic hamster that's willing to run on the wheel like an army full of little sales pushers, then you are of no value to them. Very check the box mentality. Managers are severely lacking in intelligence and experience. I still hear from many of my former co-workers who are my friends, and they cry about how awful it is. The regime. Managers have hidden numbers that no one else can see, so even if you're performing, it means nothing. They have "special" numbers that they make up to push you out. No one is safe. You are of absolutely no value. I've met so many amazing people at this company, many who left because they were shoved out, without reason. Great talent with great moral fiber, who appreciated the relationships they had with their clients. Such a shame. Truly the company's greatest loss.
