Pros

Incredibly hard working employees who genuinely enjoy working with each other. Corporate office has some sweet perks and managers will, generally, always stick up for you. Honestly, the best part of my work day was being able to work with my coworkers.

Cons

Very clique-y and favoritism rules. Pretty low pay and bonuses essentially don't exist. Oh, and they rarely promote from within. CEO doesn't really care about people who aren't the top producing LOs, so be prepared to not necessarily have all of the support needed.
