Pros

Individuals are given considerable scope to exercise their business judgement and make their own decisions, and in this way are able to shine should they succeed. The company is unafraid of giving enthusiastic people considerable responsibility, and if you are so motivated, you really can make a difference

Cons

one of the reasons the company is able to allow individuals such free reign is this lack of process, systems and structure, and this manifests itself in superficial bureaucracy - if you can overcome that, or bulldoze your way through, you'll be OK. if you are not the type of person that can assert yourself to get over the company's manifest shortcomings, you are likely to suffer...

Pros

Talented people, state-of-the-art technology and innovation.

Cons

Management treated employees like robots and pushed them to the point of exhaustion. When the company started to tank in September 2008, incompetent senior management left employees in the dark and created a culture of mistrust and fear. They closed the profitable Midwest Operations Center in Milwaukee and relocated operations to Houston TX, thinking they could take the strong Midwest work ethic and instill it into the remaining employees. Too bad management's poor transition planning set them up to fail, and now they're left struggling with the little work they have coming in from their field agencies.

Pros

The people you work with make the working environment ejoyable. There are many challenges and opportunity for growth to mid-level management.

Cons

Advancement past mid-level management positions are few. Transferring to a different maybe a little difficult. If you want to advance and are interested in taking classes management can sometimes make this difficult and hard to accomplish, unless you do it on your own.
