Pros

It was very easy to get behind the product we were selling because it does change lives. I had the opportunity to work on a fantastic team with really good people. There was a descent work/life balance outside of our busy seasons. Fun atmosphere to work in. I was given a lot of opportunity and freedom to grow in my role that eventually caused me to become really good at what I did.

Cons

The health benefits were terrible. The pay was low compared to the responsibilities for the role I was in (especially towards the end). Accounting practices with your paycheck were a little shady (For instance, if you had profit sharing as part of your pay, you cannot distinguish what was your base and what was your profit sharing. They would tell you your pay with profit share per year will be around "$XX,XXX.XX." They never specifically talked about the base pay of the salary because it was so low. They never tell you what your profit sharing percentage is as it changed year over year, so you could not distinguish between types of pay.). Dave was great to talk to on a one-on-one basis, but was really eccentric when addressing the company as a whole (He tended to go off on hour long tangents that seemed out of left field.).

Pros

Always trying new ideas to keep the program moving. You do get to interact with some sincere people, key word being some. Christmas parties are wonderful. For the most part, work/life balance is good on many teams.

Cons

Myself and persons on the team were told we could make great sums of money. Just start at this and the potential was to move into that. Seriously, "that" was only reachable if someone were to work every minute of every workday at breakneck speed. And likely 12 hours a day. The compensation was that weird in some groups. Commissions were geared for the benefit of the company. One manager turned to me and talked about the wow of doubling income. Are you kidding me? Stop it with the falsehoods. Fact. There are reviews on here that are glossy, flowing, 'perfect', 5-star. Do you think it is truly possible to get that many amazing reviews one after another? Someone posted about HR throwing in at the review board here. Ya think? C'mon. The reviews are so shiny and coated. Fact. They're dumbing you down. Stating that the negative reviews were all posted and centered around a time-frame of last spring. Keep reading the reviews and be mindful. Read and think. Finally, personal growth can be hard in many areas or rather positions. If you have a little bit of time, study some of the reviews. Easy to see? There's an inside review. And another. And another.

Pros

Dave is a incredibly generous man. EVERYONE at the company shares in the profits and the company gives back a tremendous amount to the community. Monthly Lampo Lunches, weekly staff meetings that involve the entire company - also Wednesday morning devotionals with speakers ranging from Max Lucado to Brian "Head" Welch (Korn), an amazing Christmas party, battle of the bands, free classes, and there is just a little pride that goes with telling your friends that you work for Dave Ramsey. Oh yeah - the occasional personality (Mark Cuban) sighting in the lobby.

Cons

Parking is at a premium - get here early.
