Pros

Beautiful campus and facilities. Company offers above average benefits, vacation and sick time.

Cons

Very little opportunity for growth and development. Lack of job opportunities within the company. Company does not have a focus on employee development. Mentorship is sparse at best. Lack of time and resources for employee development. Good job, but definitely not a career.

Pros

Retirement benefits Development opportunities Ample vacation/sick time Knowledge of investment industry Great place to gain experience

Cons

Expect to find tons of development opportunities to work in different departments, lead new hires and work on project teams, but do not expect to get paid for any of it. Capital has a clever way of making you think you are valued by giving you a multitude of “opportunities” only to send you right back to where you came from with the same pay. You are really just a cheaper resource that they can and will utilize where there is “business need”. This rarely leads to any type of advancement in position or pay. The raise structure will allow an associate to outperform the majority of associates, but only receive 1-2% more than an average associate because of the cookie cutter structure. There is no incentive to work harder for an entire year to make 1% more than an associate who just shows up to work everyday. Also, don’t expect a straight answer from management or anyone above. “More to come” is as precise as it gets.

Pros

Capital Group is a rare organization that practices what it preaches. If you are willing to put in the effort to improve yourself while delivering value to the organization , you will be recognized and rewarded. This is not hard to do. Be your true self, learn the ropes, stay true to the CG core values, and the career upsides are there!

Cons

Probably the one con is that limited number of internal openings if you are very specialized in your approach to work. If you are willing to learn and grow the upsides can be there. You have to manage your career first and foremost.
