Pros

There is huge opportunity for growth and chance to establish your own business.

Cons

You need to have a lot of money saved up at first. They don't make it too clear but the only way you get any help or even benefits from them is after you fill out your first 5 applications. To be clear you have to make your first five insurance sales before you have a full contract and actually qualify for all the bonuses and even the reimbursements for all the costs of licenses, computer programs, on boarding expenses. That being said its a great company if you are willing to survive a couple months without a single penny of help.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
