Pros

Good health insurance and PTO/benefits package

Cons

Few people at this company take professionalism seriously, and it shows. While they claim to care about the customer, the main message sent to employees is to get on the board with sales daily, even if you have to railroad a customer. I would start to feel sick as the clock ticked toward closing time, if I didn't have enough sales or customer migrations for the day. My manager spent most of her day in her office texting her boyfriend rather than dealing with customer issues or managing the branch. She expected us to work 8-10 hour days with no uninterrupted break and offered me 2 bereavement days when a family member died, even though company policy allows for up to 5. Constant turnover from the bottom all the way to regional and upper management means that there's no accountability for anyone. The company finds loopholes to reduce or withhold bonuses from employees. If you're in an in-store, you'll be working every Sunday, too! If you are a professional looking to work with others who have it together, avoid this place like the plague.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
