Pros

- Excellent working facilities includes a cafeteria and gym with showers - Amazing View of the Ocean - Great health care benefits, dental, life insurance options & 401K - Good employee volunteer program - Professional setting; suits, ties and pant suits, Wall Street meets Beach Life

Cons

- Administrative Supervisors lack TRUE & GENUINE leadership qualities and lack knowledge on cultivating careers of their subordinates that want to grow within the firm - Very clique-oriented & gossip-driven; Supervisors gossip about subordinates' personal and processional issues with other non-supervisors; Complete HR issue but they just get slaps on the wrists. - Good and dedicated employees are not promoted despite reaching all marks on this ridiculous matrix - Senior tenured admins are given special treatments to new roles and positions despite how un-knowledgeable they are with new roles - High turn over for New Hires and if they stay on, they are put on contract for months to years. - The work expected of you does not match the title given despite the industry and competitor standards; titles are Admin Assistant, Senior Admin Assistant, Coordinator, Senior Coordinator, and then Supervisor. The type of tasks given to us are deemed more as Executive Assistants but the only admins that hold those titles are the admins in the "Executive Office" but the last I checked, if you support Executives (i.e. VPs, SVPs, EVPs, & Managing Directors in other departments) that would constitute you being an Assistant to Executives, hence Executive Assistants. - If admins are interested in other positions within the firm, they have to go through their supervisors to approve their application. WHY? Most supervisors don't want you to leave because it'll 'shuffle things around' and create more work for them.

Pros

A modern workplace. Very clean environment with a very nice view of the ocean. Everyone is very nice and polite. Excellent eating facilities.

Cons

In the creative space it is very stale. I don't know about the others that have worked there before, but there was a high turnover rate probably to due to fact on extensive micro-managing. The work is very stale, very corporate with no chance of being creative. Everything is by the book and must follow the style guide.
