It's like working in the 80s, but without the benefits

Pros

There are pockets of rational people The new HQ in Rolling Meadows is nice, good cafeteria Can work from home

Cons

A lot of red tape to get anything done Finger pointing is common instead of just fixing a problem The company is 100% broker focused; if you aren't a broker, you are dispensable Raises are non-existent unless you fight, even though every year they are profitable The benefits are horrible (only HDHP with expensive premiums) and you only get 10 days off a year (15 after 5 years) Each location has their own rules and processes, there is no consistency Nepotism is standard practice; if you are family or a friend, you are set! Management has no idea what the day-to-day is for any of the people doing the work Morale is horrible Have to wear business casual every day (no jeans allowed) They focus on being an "Ethical" company, but practices don't reflect it internally

Pros

fancy building/parking, benefits, & great pay. People are good. It depends in what department you work if you will be happy with environment or not.

Cons

How they(HQ Requirement) think: "Pay employees more then they are worth and they will work like horses," that is what they are implying with their work volume and high pay. But honestly it ant that bad if your fine with being a hamster on a wheel and then coming home feeling so drained and unsatisfied (because your work is never finished, unless you work for free) that you cant even use your brain. Its strange they don't do drug tests upon employment or during employment. Probably because they think your urine is not worth $20. Probably if you fill a career role(60k salary or more) your effort would be decently rewarded. But if your getting less then 40k its just not worth that kind of effort.
