Pros

If you are lucky enough to be in an office with a good environment, which is very rare, then you can have a good experience. Weekly paychecks are a plus, as are insurance commissions and bonuses. I have met some really great people working here, as well.

Cons

The company, especially the new owners, FIG, don't seem to have any clue how to run this operation. Over the past two months they have closed more than 80 branches in 15 states. The company is hemorrhaging money at an unsustainable pace. You are on the phone making outbound solicitation calls all day, every day. If you spend more than 3 minutes between calls, you will get questioned. These aren't cold calls, either, but rather calls to current customers. Each office only has so many open loan customers, so they get calls two to three times a week, and you can tell they are sick of it all. Management rides you endlessly, they don't care.

Pros

Your peers. I have a great group of co-workers though multiple have left because of HORRIBLE direct management in the AM department.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Tricky incentives. Shark like environment. Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE managers. Favoritism runs rampant at this place and goes unchecked. Lazy, incompetent department manager makes up his own rules (you MUST use your break time to go the bathroom) which goes endorsed by his superiors and HR. Reward people who live at that place and work insane OT hours because of the low pay, but crap on people working the normal amount of hours because you’re based on the “average”. Truly one of the worst management staffs I have ever seen coupled with lackadaisical training and one of the dumbest rules I’ve ever heard of…you must be at One Main for ONE ENTIRE YEAR before you can transfer out of the department or move up. Trust me when I say run as far away as you can from this place.
