Pros

Great benefits package. Many of the co workers are friendly. A decent work like balance. Well respected company in industry.

Cons

I agree with everyone who says moving up is a bit of a joke. Many junior managers are incompetent, and are in their positions due to tenure. Very conservative culture that likes to censor its employees. Not a good company for creative people, as many of your ideas get lost in shuffle/never get implemented. Very reactive company, despite its claims in trying to be innovative.

Dead end job

Pros

You get a paycheck, grant it, it’s below industry standards. And health insurance. Good PTO if you can tough it out for 10 years.

Cons

Management really takes the joy out of the job. I swear the ideas they come up with are from random Google Searches. For example, Miller Heiman call model. For some people, having these structured call formats may work, but for others it does not. What ever happened to just having a conversation to discuss client needs? They expect you to uncover a clients overall financial situation with a 15 minute call. They say they want us to learn about the client but all they seem to worry about is average handle time. They also claim crew have spoken and want to return to the office. The crew they are referring to are not client facing. They don’t deal with the day to day stress.

Pros

The mission and purpose is clear and provides great outcomes for clients. Good benefits

Cons

Over time it became very political and salary was significantly below market which was one of a myriad reasons I left the company.
