      Great environment to learn and grow as an investment professional

      Pros

      Personal growth is high at this firm. The small team atmosphere fosters a great training environment and ample opportunity to take on greater responsibility with more experience. Junior people on the team have an opportunity to interact with clients, which isn't typical of sell-side roles at other firms.

      Cons

      Promotions happen slowly due to the flat organizational structure. The key is to remain challenged and excited about doing a variety of responsibilities for the team and not to focus so heavily on what title you have.

      Great place to learn and develop, not the best in terms of pay/benefits.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Location is great, still get downtown benefits but much lower cost-of-living. Organizational structure is pretty good and it's employee-owned.

      Cons

      Low/uncompetitive pay, sometimes can be a rumor-mill, and too much focus on brand of person (i.e. previous employer, school, geographic background) vs. actual skills possessed.

      Positive friendly people

      Pros

      Baird has a very positive, upbeat and friendly atmosphere. The people who are there, want to be there. This is unlike many other firms where the people ended up there because their previous employer was bought out by a huge bank. Calling the home office in Milwaukee is a pleasure because you have a direct line to exactly the person you need to talk to. Not only do they answer the phone promptly, you will get a friendly helpful response. They go above and beyond expectations.

      Cons

      The technology is not as robust as some of the larger firms, but they are working to improve.
