Pros

When the market was thriving, Arbor did see significant deal flow. In other words, Arbor was in the game. If you are fortunate to hook up with a manager who will support and promote you internally, you can go places.

Cons

Most senior management is in it for themselves. Many of these managers may be good salespeople, etc. but they are lousy managers. Some simply don't care how their staff members are treated--unless it will somehow benefit them. Promotion/advancement can be very slow in coming and compensation is less than what you could get at a comparable firm.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule was nice.

Cons

Upper management is clueless to the daily operations of their staff and refuse to listen to the experts in their fields. Pay is low compared to other companies in the same industry. Respect is non existent if management doesn’t “like you”. At one point before I left, I was waking up with so much anxiety that I would throw up daily. This place isn’t good for mental health.
