Miserable.

Pros

Sometimes flexible with hours. Access to lots of companies. Promotes positive environment but doesn't hold up. Good work experience for future employment opportunities. Pay is decent.

Cons

Not enough space to write all the cons. Terrible benefits, especially for such a large company. WAY too big of workloads for people to carry. High expectations of growth without sufficient support to manage it... unrealistic expectations across the board. People walk outside crying on a weekly basis. Brokers can say what ever they want to their support staff with no worries of repercussions because they are producing and therefore not held to any sort of moral standards. No training, just expected to know everything by month 6. Awful awful place to be.

Pros

Salary is above average. Referral bonus is high. HR is approachable. You could actually enjoying your job if make friends around here. Good place to jump from technical to non technical career path. (I did it)

Cons

Cafeteria is amazingly ridiculous, unhygienic and too tiny considering the head count. Management is reluctant to take action against team leads (even if there is evidence provided against them.) You have to wait for six extra months to get your annual bonus. (In next six months you are due for another bonus. This is their way of keeping employees interested.) Attrition rate is pretty high. Making it difficult to rely on your colleagues. You never know who's leaving, when!
