Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Very conflictive organization
Pros: Wages above market average
Nice offices and perks
Best health insurance
Cons: The organization is designed to make everyone compete internally. You are more focused on defending your ground against other LOBs that competing in the market.
The managers are hypocrites. They talk a lot about change and "be the shifter", however the "shifter profile" is exactly what they don´t want. People that speak up are not welcome in this organization.
The morale of the group is very low because of high rotation. Some layoffs are felt by the group as materialization of emotions of higher management. Also sometimes people are harassed until the point they decide to leave on their own.
The average lifetime for a sales person is 2 years.
Management advocates a "put a gun against the head of the customer" sales approach.
Known by the industry as a "meat grounding machine"
Impossible to get a raise, no matter if your are very successful. 
Very hard to move between LOBs.
Prefer to get managers from outside the organization.
