      Pros

      good working environment good benefits access to gym lots of events flexible schedule good teamwork good environment laid back

      Cons

      I don't have very many cons other than you can be scheduled different hours everyday, if that's something you are willing to work with then it wouldn't be a problem. other than that I would say just the usual office hours you work, by the time you get out everything else is also closed so I have to ask for time off for dr. appointments and stuff like that

      Pros

      Ethical company, lives its values; great leadership (the Presidents and CEO are so accessible and genuine); financially strong; numerous opportunities; making an investment in Des Moines campus to really improve the workplace. Also, #63 on recent Forbes list of 500 best employers. That's HUGE!

      Cons

      As with any company with longevity in a market, some of the more tenured employees are slow to let go of the way things used to be

      Went looking for a job and found a career/passion.

      Pros

      The company is amazing, the support staff is almost and less and their expertise in the field has made my job so much easier. I have found when I don't feel comfortable talking about a product we offer that I can very quickly find someone who is an expert to guide me. If you work hard they are very good about rewarding you for your efforts and promotions come very quickly.

      Cons

      The office is still small, and the previous director was retiring so we have had to start fresh with the local office
