Pros

The only thing that was good was the snack cabinet

Cons

-long hours. They claim they don’t want you there past 5, but depending on what team you’re on, you can easily stay past 7 -management doesn’t really know how to handle/manage the concerns of their associates. Lots of band aid fixes for things. -micromanagement to the extreme. No one fully explained the onboarding process to me and later found out that other associates on your team would have to review EVERY single thing you did down to sending an internal email. Some people loved that power structure and nit picked your work. -training was alright…I truly wish it could’ve prepared me for the actual job more -turnover. The amount of people I saw come and go was truly alarming but I soon found out why. That should speak volumes. - I promise you, you can get paid way more someone else being wayyyy less stressed -some advisors are a nightmare. I would literally lose sleep thinking about having to come in the next day and dealing with them. Yes it was that bad and my mental health was in the gutter

Pros

Swanky offices that they pay for rather than pay their employees, good coffee, milk options for coffee, snack bar and downtown Nashville parking

Cons

Career progression is stagnant. They prefer to layoff staff over upskilling them for latest technology. This is specific to the technology and operations. The promotion process is cumbersome to put it mildly. It places systematic barriers for employees who do not have support or resources to ‘network’. That means along with coming into the office three days a week , you have to commit to additional unpaid hours to grow your ‘network’. Promotions awarded are inconsistent. Lone wolf performers are rewarded so employees become reluctant to collaborate and there is a lot of time wasted due to working in silos and/or trying to highlight your performance rather than doing the work in the first place. I don’t trust anyone that I work with because of this. Managers regularly take credit for tasks that are way below their pay grade. Leaders prefer to stay in their ivory towers in New York even though the official headquarters of the company is in Nashville.
