Pros

Staffing, back office are so nice. Willing to help. The clients that comes in are absolutely amazing. My office was so considerate of me having kids and possibly needing to leave. Work life balance was pretty nice. The benefits are amazing.

Cons

the lack of offering a product and then changing the product. Its frustrating. Which I understand things change, but it's hard when your prospecting and saying one thing then have to turn around and say another thing. Also with the change, your asking management to go sell products when they were never trained to do this and to put so much pressure on them is a lot. It's new to them so give them time.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
