Poor management and over inflated egos

Pros

Good salary and benefits.

Cons

Untrustorthy management and HR not interested in employees just satisfying management. Was a great company but over inflated egos employed over last few years make it an unpleasant company to work for. If you have a mind of your own this is not the company to work for but if you are a yes person then Ares is for you

The people outside of senior management are good to work with. Compensation is above average. Company is stable and growing.

Cons

No career path for individuals who are not hired by current CFO. Senior management not transparent with staff - do not trust them. Very political environment.
