Pros

Definitely a fun filled culture with a lot of hype and excitement to find success in the funeral world. Lots of young people around and a great way to start a sales career out of school.

Cons

Bro club. You also get to a point where they feel like you are making good money and they do all they can to pretty much stop your progression in making a whole lot more money as you grow within the company. The progression is slow and they tell you things you want to hear and tell you they will communicate things to you and take it back to corporate to figure out and they never get back to you. Super frustrating! Field management is super young and most of the manager with Precoa haven't worked anywhere else or have any other real long term experience else where. All they know is Precoa. Also will push you out slowly if you don't fit the culture and if you begin to sound like you are "complaining". A lot of talent has left over the last couple of years and it will continue that way. Also starting to get saturated out in the field to develop into management roles.

Thank you for your insight. I agree that we have seen some growing pains within our field management program over the last year or two. We have taken steps to diversify our recruiting efforts and find candidates with a broad range of experience and background. That said, these kind of changes take time to implement and we appreciate the patience of our employees as we continue to make improvements. We definitely agree with the advice that you provided. We are currently looking for a very experienced executive to join our leadership team as the leader of our Finance area. We are excited to find someone with a broad range of experience and learn from and with them as we continue to grow as a company.

Pros

Flexible work/life balance. Annual Company trip.

Cons

Trust No One! Deceit and betrayal is abundant. The culture was supposed to be the selling point; the culture is more like sorority. Leadership is non-existent. It is evident that most individuals in management or leadership roles have very little experience. Your personal life will always be under attack. No clear strategy for long term growth or career advancement. Not a place to work if you are looking to advance quickly and maximize your income potential. Its actually looked down upon. No one really understands how commissions are calculated, including the finance department (weird). if you have eyes on the back of your head and don't mind pulling a knife out of your back on a regular occasion, its not terrible. A lot of top talent has left over the past few years. I anticipate there is more to follow.

False Promises and Double Standards

Pros

Flexible work schedule. Great company trip every year, if you qualify. There are many great and talented individuals who work in the HQ and out in the field.

Cons

Poor senior management and leadership. Much of the management team has little to no experience outside of Precoa and have promoted through prior relationships with the executive team and other senior individuals. Seems that most of the focus of the company is to mold employees into one specific persona and not interested in utilizing individual talents or characteristics. If you don't fit this mold, good luck breaking into the "boys club". Talent and capability are not considered when looking to promote and are often used against individuals when opportunities for advancement arise. Personal situations that are irrelevant to work have often hindered individuals opportunity for advancement as well. The culture could be described as a "gossip beehive" and its hard to trust the word of many individuals in leadership positions. The benefits are pretty poor as well.
