Pros

Great work environment, intelligent and helpful colleagues, fun activities outside of work, great leadership, understanding management. For being such a new company, the structure and organization continued to get better and better throughout my term.

Cons

Benefits were not so good when I was there, but I hear that has changed.

Pros

As other's mentioned - Paramount Merchant Funding gave me a chance to work with them in 2009 - during the worst economic recession since the great depression. I was a highly qualified candidate with a bit of a sales background in real estate and a degree from one of the top universities in the US, and yet nobody was looking to hire anyway in the NYC area. I'm not exactly sure why other's are complaining about getting hired to work – and getting paid. We all received excellent training and the management was always helpful and giving tips on how I could improve my sales techniques. I learned many important skills about the business sector and finance, but most importantly, the staff encouraged me to use my other skills and qualifications which were beyond the scope of the job for which I was hired. Some employees assumed that the job was easier than it was, but it's definitely a learning experience and it only gives back what you put into it. Those who didn't invest, didn't get a return. Eventually I left because I relocated and went back to school - but I can't recommend a better place to work and better employers. I made a very respectable salary during my time at Paramount Merchant Funding, and to this day, we are still in touch and have worked together on numerous projects.

Cons

I didn't have any problems with my time there.

Pros

They are quick to hire anyone no matter what previous experience you may have. If you are straight out of college and no one else will hire you, they will.

Cons

This company is very unorganized, unprofessional, there is no room for growth for employees and lack ethics. There is a VERY HIGH turnover rate. They like to hire young unexperienced employees so they can pay less. I would say that this is the worst company I have ever worked for.
