Business Outlook

Pros

The company is respected within the industry. Clients know and respect the brand.

Cons

Management structure forces senior team members to be focused only on themselves and not the greater good of the firm. All salaries are tiered by title and this incentives senior team members to take credit for the work of junior team members and not spend time developing a strong team.
