Pros

PTO is good for a starting position. Large company and thus lots of states to be able to work in if you like to move. Lots of divisions to transfer to after 1 year of work.

Cons

rampant unethical sales culture, high pressure, poorly designed products and a system that is ultimately destructive to the customer and employees. Lazy management that put significant pressures on employees to produce while taking no accountability or responsibility themselves. Lowest on the totem poll gets paid very little incentive compensation/bonus. Business model is focused on quantity not quality. There is a significant lack of teamwork between direct coworkers. "Needs based selling" is a sham as if they do not have a need for a product or service it is because the salesman hasn't found a way to justify one for the client yet.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
