Pros

Company is looking to grow and compete with the 3 majors.

Cons

Conservative policies and under achieving partnerships compared to what the major banks offer. A lot of the cost for products and services are passed on to the customer.

Good to start out in not to stay

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, Easy, Clients, Not Sales Driven

Cons

It’s like they just hire anyone off the street. Not consistent in treatment among all staff. Hard to grow. Low paying job with lots of responsibilities. Doesn’t give staff accountability. Half of our team are incapable of their full job title
