Pros

Soda Machine. They provide Air conditioning & heat in workplace. Depending which office you work at they may fly you out to charlotte to be "trained" although this is primarily due to other trainers/hr staff being fired or quitting from the other offices.

Cons

The most obvious disadvantage here is that you are Not set up to succeed. Extremely poor training, no training protocols. HR/Trainers typically don't stay at the company longer than a year max for a variety of reasons. That fact alone should be telling. No such thing as upward mobility. The managers are more confused than their employees. No direction. Acquisitions are only made to inflate the stock price, not to give the employees access to new systems or additional tools.

Pros

- Attractive office layout & environment - Free access to gym on building's 2nd floor - Enthusiastic classroom trainers and floor supervisors - You get severance pay if you get laid off even before your 90-day evaluation

Cons

- Competitive interview process and rose-tinted company rhetoric lead you to believe that this is a tremendous opportunity with good job security, earnings, and career potential...only to lay off several employees, many before their 90-day evaluation (and, incidentally, unemployment eligibility). - Classroom training is enthusiastic but ultimately inadequate; after "graduating" from classroom training and being placed on the sales floor, very minimal oversight and guidance is offered. - Mentoring program promised during interview process is practically non-existent and - Lead generation is ACTIVELY DISCOURAGED during preliminary 90 days; all CR1 leads are terrible with many being irrelevant, defunct, personal lines, etc leads to a situation with little training/growth opportunity. - Forced to make false promises to hundreds of prospective customers each week; many opportunities are squandered and loads go uncovered, further squandering future potential for business development. - Essentially pays entry level employees $600/week to scrub thousands of bad leads in the company's CRM for several months, before ultimately laying off those employees and passing scrubbed leads to more experienced brokerage firms outside the Chicago office.

Pros

You do not have to work weekends and there is a free gym. That is the only positive. Nothing else is worth it.

Cons

Pay is an absolute joke. 30 k a year. The commission is confusing and for a reason...there is little speak of at all! People who are doing "good" here make like 200$ in commission a month. You will lose customers as fast or as fast as you gain them. We cannot cover a homeless man with a blanket. The policies change every 5 minutes. The job turnover is higher than Derrick Rose on the fast break. Just a crappy crappy place to work. They will hire you if you have a pulse and no murders on record.
