Pros

There are some good people there that haven't left yet

Cons

Does not promote from within, prefers to hire outside of the company. There is no clear path for promotions, and they are not talked about. You get pigeon-holed and forgotten about. Applying internally for other positions is a waste of time as you won't get a response of any type. HR is doesn't seem to exist. Communication is horrible. Management only doles out the minimal amount of information as it is needed. Lots of backstabbing, so always need to CYA. Teams do not work cohesively. Management gives entire teams bad ratings, contrary to what was being said all year. They give a generous 1 to 2% raise if you do get a good review. Employees are not treated as assets, but more like contractors where they will get rid of you on a whim. Saw several people with 20+ years of experience and knowledge suddenly let go without warning. My recommendation would be to never apply here, ever.

Pros

The role is exciting in that you get to meet new people and open accounts for them and you have your own office space to help your customers

Cons

The required 6 day work week was not communicated properly and thus resulted in a bit of distrust towards the recruiter and then the company leadership as a whole

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!
