Pros

Great pay, flexible hours, can work from home if you need. The company is growing so great chances to move up. The people and managers are all nice and treat you as a equal.

Cons

I have not run into any cons. Company is growing so many new hires but this is not always a bad thing.

Pros

Management is very flexible about working with your personal schedule, employees work many different shifts. Several product lines to work within. Good benefits, good compensation, great location, and currently improving dated feel of facilities. Company growing at a good rate, many chances for advancement. Current CEO doing a great job growing the all product lines. Good mix of experienced employees and new-comers.

Cons

Working with life insurance, annuities, or benefits can be tedious at times. Currently shifting some operations and consolidating physical size of departments (smaller work spaces).

Big company culture, small company - NOT a good mix

Pros

Hours are good, flexible. Pay is competitive. People are very nice, for the most part.

Cons

This company has absolutely no sense of direction or purpose. They have no idea what their target market is and try to sell everything to everyone. As a result, they have no expertise in any market space. They have recently been bringing in management from very large corporations, along with all of the political intrigue and backstabbing that goes along with it. High level managers are being assigned to head areas of the company for which they are not suited by expertise, education or training. When I came here from a large corporate atmosphere, a small company like this was a breath of fresh air. With all the recent changes and lack of direction, the air is not nearly as fresh as it used to be.
