      Pros

      Benefits-These were in transition and their health changed to a high deductible plan that wasn't popular. Have a lot of other good benefits available. Good vacation package. You get a lot of time off. Good retirement plan. Good recogniton of peers and employees.

      Cons

      They let go of their bottom performers. You can do great for years and if you have a couple bad months you are let go. You have to be very disciplined to work there. There are a lot of unrealistic goals set by the company. You're calls are timed and you get scored poorly if you get customers that ask a lot of questions.

      Pros

      Great work/ life balance. Heavy emphasis on promoting from within so once you get your foot in the door, you can move to a position in almost any part of the company. People tend to be very courteous and easy to get along with.

      Cons

      Compensation is not on the same level of other financial services companies. Lots of red tape can make it difficult to make even seemingly small changes.
