Pros

Great company culture. Good people who actually help one another and look out for our client's best interests.

Cons

Beware of becoming an agent. Due a LOT of research first and understand that you are not being judged solely on measurable performance, but also "Core Competencies" which give leadership the ability to refuse you a permanent contract without concrete explanations even if production goals are achieved. Also, beware of the financial projections they provide you with. They tend to show much more positive financial results than actually occur.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
