Pros

Some of the people you get to know and work with at the company were very fun to work with and not to mention that they were very talented in their given fields.

Cons

The cliches were a bit too much at times to deal with. Also while you had people who were willing to share information to help you achieve a goal there were others who felt threatened by people who are intelligent and willing to go the extra mile to help others.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
