      Pros

      Free lunch on Wednesday Hybrid

      Cons

      Everything about this company is a mess. Leadership aka dictators, consists of a bunch of people whose first day on earth it is. Sales receives every penny of the spending budget. Lack of professionalism is embarrassing.

      Accountability Without Authority - Leadership That Punches Down

      Pros

      I witnessed the company evolve through different phases. There is a decent life insurance licensing sponsorship and sales training program, which is a genuine benefit for those new to the industry looking to get licensed.

      Cons

      Culture is BRUTAL. Leadership at every level tends toward sycophancy. The existing Sales GM is ruthless, and new leadership above her appears to be fully aligned with that approach rather than course-correcting it. Managers are routinely called out in group settings, belittled, and put on the spot. You are held accountable for outcomes you are given no authority to influence. When pressure comes from above, leadership will not hesitate to shift blame downward. The negative reviews accumulating over the past few years reflect a real pattern, not noise.
