      Cautiously Optimist

      Senior financial analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Growing company; Good place to start for young graduates or for someone wanted to further their education; Work & Life balance environment is good for young mother.

      Cons

      Lack of talent retention initiative in place; Work Performance Assessments; Training is limited for employees with specialized skills. Company's values are not consistently translating from top to bottom ( the message seem to get diluted when it gets to some VPs, and most of AVPs and Directors); Compensation is not competitive.

      Not a warm or welcoming place

      Group benefits consultant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible schedule, many departments and divisions if looking for opportunities to move forward within the company

      Cons

      Experience with a manager who gave new opportunities to favorite reps instead of reps who'd earned the opportunities. Also did most of the managing from the phone or email instead of hands on assistance in the field.
