Pros

Okay hourly, probably to compensate for the fact that the commission structure is a joke. And I have to write 20 characters to satisfy this section. Learned how credit works, That was cool guess.

Cons

No work life balance. When you tell management in advance you have military orders to be somewhere, they do not work with you to approve an extra day off. They throw HR lingo in your face when in reality they are being petty and want to flex their power. If they really care to retain employees this would not have even been a discussion. However, They will actually proceed to interrogate you about what you are doing (all via text message I might add, they refuse to call you for anything important) and then they think that they can tell you how to go about YOUR time off. That was a real treat. The hiring process sucks. You have no employee access to anything for over a week. So no access to your work email, time click nothing until you (yes your yourself) have to blow up the IT department only for them to give some shady internet link to some how get you to where you need to be. Not to mention to find out their "top or more veteran employees" have not even gone to be certified to sell insurance, the most top paying product to sell. So you can imagine to my surprise that this so called sales based company doesn't encourage or empower their current employees to go and get the bigger bucks. Just an all around joke.

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.
