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

name recognition used to be on top of its game if you suck up to the right people you can move ahead

Cons

too competitive in a negative way-floor is inundated with personal so cut throat mentality is enforced. Doing the right thing for the customer is not the issue, begging for sales is all that is required to make it to the top. To get ahead you have to do shady things to get noticed and then you move up to management without knowing what you are doing and train others to be slimey. doesnt recognize good talent. Going in a bad direction especially in these times. Goals are unatainable for the most part unless you are willing to do the wrong thing for the customer. Loans and lines nearly impossible to get however goals remain the same. LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE for a friendly environement--this isn't the place.
