Pros

Great benefits, nice campus, good work/life balance. Incentives for healthy living. Job security is a big plus!

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement if you are 40+. Far more emphasis on advancing careers of recent college graduates with little to no business/industry experience over more "mature" crew. Base pay is low compared to other similar firms.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
