Pros

The thing that keeps me here is being able to dress casual and being able to come in anywhere between 6-8am. It's not too bad of a place, it's pretty chill and because of the volume of employees you can blend in. There is a good diversity of people here.

Cons

Mandatory overtime. I hear compensation is below average (which is good in a way because they don't expect as much out of you.) I think our department has low moral. We usually have to go to another department to find out what is going on in our own department. Our department has a high turn over rate. Our yearly pay increase is around 2%.

-I did not know anything about finance, just had sales experience to my name and an open mind to learning and they took me in and tought me so much. -Benefits are top tier, from the basics to some that you didn't know they even existed. -They give you 8 hours a quarter for personal development. -Good pay without even including bonus or language add ons. -You will learn a LOT -

Cons

-2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
