Pros

N/A -As my first job, it can only be up from here.

Cons

Working at this company was one of the worst experiences of my life. -The management has no idea how to manage. -I was painfully underpaid. -During my 2 weeks notice, I was treated disrespectfully, lied to, and the group did everything to make my life miserable. -Do not trust anything that this company has to say; it's all fake. -Degrees should not be required for the positions based on the pay and efforts. -Please do not make the same mistake that I did, as taking this job, while desperately seeking employment outside of college. -Managers did not know how to do my job as an Associate 2. -I was banned from taking PTO due to having no back-up. -I was limited on my time away from my desk, with 5 minute breaks max - as I couldn't possibly miss 1 call from a client.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
