Pros

Management is usually understanding of taking of time in emergency or spur of the moment situations. The retirement plan is decent with a multiplier on the match for the 401k and a pension plan in addition to that. There is a great walking path through the gardens that are on-site.

Cons

Advancement only comes if you are liked by management or you have been there a set number of years. Management will pigeon-hole their employees. No formal training for beginners, you are essentially "thrown to the wolves." The benefits aren't the greatest (but at least it's something). Management believes in pushing projects forward before they are "ready" which causes a lot of production issues.

Pros

You start out with a salary and have the opportunity to get big bonuses every quarter. They set you up in an office, they pay the rent, marketing, staff, everything. You get to learn the business and be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

Cons

New commission only, you do not collect commission on any renewal business (even business you write) while you are salary. The products are good, but not as innovative as our competitors. They do very little marketing, so many people have never heard of Shelter. There is a life quota every quarter, miss it once and you go on probation, miss it again and you're fired. But the quota is very manageable.
