Pros

starting pay was good and had a healthy signing bonus. 401k and retirement plan for employees was good.

Cons

Existing consultants in retirement plans department bullied by management. They have a discipline policy to question you on something you are doing that they don't like and then two weeks later you get written up for whatever it was regardless of your response to the initial notice. So you can work there and end up not doing something that they want you to do then you get written up for it even if you make changes to address the situation professionally. The client services department is separate and different from the rest of the company. The company as a whole embraces values that the client services department definitely does not. In the role of phone consultant you are not allowed to participate in BRGs with the rest of the company.
