Pros

Benefits, decent pay, hybrid schedule.

Cons

Old systems, very old school mentality, say they want change and innovation but they don’t. Lack of leadership. Can’t trust HR. Retaliation, harassment. Leadership doesn’t like feedback. Backstabbing.

Pros

There was a lot of flexibility with working from home my team was fully remote when I left, and they were hiring people from out of state for the Chicago office. They did have plans to go into office but it seemed like for my team there was a lot of flexibility around this. Benefits are pretty standard nice thing is they have a pension but it takes 5 years to vest.

Cons

Be prepared to work a lot of hours if your going to work in their Private Equity Department. My expected hours were around 50 to 60 hours a week in non busy times and during the busy times which happens for around half the year alternating every other month it was 70 to 80 hours a week and you don't get overtime for it and the pay is not nearly as much as working for a private equity firm. It is a very competitive environment to see which team members can stay on the latest and get the most work done in a day which leads to a burnout culture.

Cons

No collaboration. Political People are mean and nasty Management doesn’t care and no trust between employees. Very little motivation to good in the team that is just looking to throw you under the bus without hesitation.
