Pros

Provides a needed service to Public Stock is strong performer in 401k Base pay was fair, bonus based on performance of the branch

Cons

Upper managment is not interested in providing a good working environment Work/life balance is non-existent. It's difficult to keep good employees because of this - especially females. Medical benefits were okay, but they do everything they can to keep employees from being able to use time off or take a medical leave without a real hit in pay/benefits. Squeezing blood from a turnip. Also: upper management forces every department/branch to operate on too few personnel.

Pros

The benefits are good ~ in general. Medical is good. Dental is good. Vision is good. 401k match is good. And, they have beautiful offices and are global so if you wanted to live somewhere else there is an opportunity to stay with the firm.

Cons

Start you off really low in salary and barely give raises as you progress and obtain licenses. And, their rationale for charging more and more in fees is "it is what every other firm is doing".

Pros

The company offers an excellant training program. There is a good opportunity to advance within the company if you perform well. Branch management is always open to help you if you are struggling.

Cons

Crawling underneath houses and dealing with wildlife.
