Pros

Quality of life Unique structure leading to singular focus on clients Firm is competitively positioned to dominate industry for long term

Cons

Employees aren't empowered; no diversity of thought; if you don't acclimate and fall in line the legacy crew go after you. "Crew" are generally miserable and senior staff are indifferent.

Pros

Decent PTO and benefits, to an extent.

Cons

"Work life" flexibility varies greatly depending on management. Benefits were competitive in the early 00s, but are no longer. They're trumped up to make up for terrible pay. Little advancement after decent tenure, unless you know someone who knows someone. Many employees are complacent.

Pros

Benefits and pto keep me there. They will hire you right out of college and pay for you to study for your licenses

Cons

Too focused on metrics. Little room for advancement unless you are the chosen one. Few team leaders actually know job. They are stuck in meetings most of the day. Don't believe everything hr tells you. This is an entry level phone job and they need people to fill the seats due to high turn over.
