Pros

It’s a job if you need one

Cons

We just laid off a ton of people and likely won’t get our full bonus because of poor decisions by the EC, but sure let’s highlight how we throw money into a PGA sponsorship on the internal home page. That’ll really build culture. The EC and upper leadership is so, SO out of touch with the lives and financial well-being of the people that do the actual work every single day. We’re not going to get a full bonus payout because of the mismanagement of this firm, money that we NEED in order to exist because we don’t make millions of dollars a year. We have some amazing resources available through the employee branch, but who has extra money to actually invest? No one that is not in upper leadership makes a living wage any longer, but sure let’s highlight the sponsorship of an elite sports event paid for with money that could have gone into the pockets of the people that make your business actually run, and who no longer make a living wage.

Pros

-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.

Pros

There are a few great managers here, but they are few and far between. Good amount of sick pay.

Cons

Underpaid for the role. Just another cog in the machine to get tasks done. If you don’t have seniority, but are being mistreated by individuals who are more senior, be ready to shoulder the blame for errors even if you are new. The lack of training is astounding, especially for some departments that are expanding. Lots of koolaid drinking. If you care about being kind and authentic, be careful which team you land with. Take your time during the interview process.
