Pros

The team is very supportive and I have found everyone on the team to be very transparent. We have a lot of moving parts servicing corporate and the advisor firms. I have found the executives I have interacted with to be forward thinking and engaging. The benefits are quite solid and the company has figured out how to pivot during the Covid pandemic.

Cons

There is a lot of tribal knowledge so a person needs to be comfortable asking questions and searching on their own.
