Pros

Most people are very personable. Great benefits, including small things like dry cleaning, shoe and clothing repair on site. Overall very good people.

Cons

Incentives need to be changed so that people are more willing to work together (be helpful) across areas. Employees are very helpful to their boss and immediate team, but it is hard to work people in other areas. There is a "silo" mentality. Even within one's area, people are very political.

Pros

Helps one develops immense self motivation due to the high pressure nature of the business. Encourages professional networking. Will help hone communication and influencing skills.

Cons

Management should spend more 1 on 1 time on teaching representatives concepts in financial planning, placing less emphasis in the process of making the sale to keep employee satisfaction high.

Pros

Front line managers do care about their staff and work to help them be successful.

Cons

Becoming more and more like a stock company (layoffs nearly every year of some kind or another). Communication is not always the best from senior level down to folks on the floor. Pushing to do more with less staff. Lots of folks putting in extra time to meet deadlines.
