Pros

Free food and drinks all day, wellness incentive program, managers are easy to get along with, good culture.

Cons

There has been a company merge recently and things are changing so fast its hard to keep up. The advisors main focus is to sale and get as many leads as possible which only pays a very small commission. You can have the best customer service and really make a difference in a client's life and your manager's main concern will be if you got a lead out of the call. The good news is that its hard to get fired and even though they are sales focused it not a "high pressure" sales job...yet.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
