Pros

Big company not going bankrupt anytime soon. Literally nothing other than this if you work in branch world.

Cons

- you stop getting paid at 5pm but you can’t actually leave at 5pm. - company does not make you feel important, everything is based on you doing maximum amount of sales but systems, other departments, management, will all work against you and tie down your efficiency. - huge expectation for you to waste time selling Insurance and using sales tools that you don’t need to hit sales targets. But company will force you to waste these times on tools because they are petrified of lawsuits. - heavy focus on women in leadership and not qualified candidates in leadership so most of branch management absolutely horrendous/can’t make a decision because lack of brain power. - very very cheap in terms of what they buy for employees, how they celebrate employees, branch doesn’t buy food or keep the fridge stocked, nada.
