Pros

Benefits and nice office location

Cons

I didn't last long here. In my first week some other colleagues advised me that my boss in particular was known to be a jerk - they were correct. They also told me women don't last long here. They were correct. Expectations weren't clear, I was blamed for my boss's mistakes, and I was given little to no work to do. The work was pointless, hours of meetings that could all be reduced to an email. Oh well. Glad I'm out of there.

Pros

Hightower swag is amazing & pretty good benefits.

Cons

Everything. Toxic culture, information hoarding, no onboarding process AT ALL. People only talk about things verbally and never document those conversations/ meetings so no one is ever held accountable for anything so simple tasks end up taking you 3x as long. the C*O hired all his old work pals as his directs. Nothing is automated, not kidding they use software that’d be considered outdated 5 years ago. It’s insane. If you want a job where you’ll become so stressed you can’t poop, come be complacent here!

Pros

Great Company but not all locations are great as the overall organization

Cons

My location did not provide any benefits and attempted to offer me a salary lower than the average until I negotiated and just received average salary with no benefits.
