Think outside the box to bring in commissions

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced atmosphere. Everyday is different. You have the opportunity to be creative. The one thing you have to remain true to is that you cannot maintain an inexpensive product and be able to service your clients well.

Cons

Rates are a race to zero in these markets. Many firms are looking for the absolute cheapest way to sustain their business. You dictate how much you want to make but in this economy, firms are shutting down left and right.

Exciting for a short time but very turbulent management and turnover creating negative vibes within co-workers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good benefits. Semi-formal culture. Smart co-workers.

Cons

Bad work-life balance. Saw a lot of layoffs among people working for over 10 years and that uncertainty looms like dark clouds over a majority of co-workers as they approach the 10 year mark. That is probably responsible for a lot of negativity within co-workers. This lowers the morale among the new employees and dampens the overall work spirit.

Many Pros, but Management gets in its own way and in the way of most productive employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent Benefits Open atmosphere - good way to get to know lots and lots of colleagues, even if you don't work directly with them Beautiful office space Company has young, fresh feeling

Cons

Middle Management - people who made day-to-day decisions - are ill equipped. Talent is not necessarily recognized and/or promoted; "Transparency" is a joke - like any other big company, there is a ton of secrecy Compensation is pathetic.
