Pros

Great pay and pretty good benefits. The owner really cares about his employees. I felt so welcomed to a company. There is a great company party each year where you meet everyone. Great Christmas Bonuses. The Owner really makes this company different. I wish every subsidy had an owner like the overall owner.

Cons

CFLS is a subsidy of Colonial Group. Their new management is focused on numbers and they do not care about employees. They do not give performance reviews or even Annual reviews. They do not give you any warning before terminations. They also force older generations into early retirement if they feel it's necessary. The New hires are no longer getting commissions and everyone is signing non-competes for 2 years. New programs are installed to micro manage and measure performance but once again no performance reviews along the way.

Pros

Good pay & benefits, people really do care, company is growing, opportunities to move within company

Cons

For me - the location - too far to drive and bad area, very little management which means no one knows what is going on most of the time, stupid fast pace - they put way too much on everyone so you always feel overwhelmed, instead of controllled growth they just add new businesses with no training for those employees or existing ones that have to try to figure it out. No training and throwing everthing at you and expecting you to just take it on - is the worst part.
