"pay in sunshine"

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy to access location, great company groups (like Women's group, young employees group, art group, etc.), encourage and sponsor financial licenses, decent onboarding/training, company does a lot for the community, fun Halloween activities, interesting art around the office, standard finance hours

Cons

Low pay vs. the industry (even with taking lower cost of living into consideration - the ongoing joke is that they pay their employees in sunshine), terrible maternity leave, benefits are okay/sub par, poor technology, difficult to get in the door, pay increases are very small (even with the best annual reviews), senior and middle management consists of almost all white males

Business Outlook

Pros

Established management in many positions. Pay is slightly above average of the market. Benefits include 401k, profit sharing, and stock.

Cons

Middle management sometime stuck enforcing policies that don't make sense. Contract-to-hire position. Strict attendance monitored by phone login. Parking is crowded occasionally if you work after 8am.

15 good years but moving in the wrong direction

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable employment across all market cycles in the majority of the firms departments. Work life balance is relatively strong although getting worse. Tom James built a great conservative foundation that should be able to survive long term. Stock has been strong to own.

Cons

Some truly awful senior executives who don't understand their business units in positions of power simply because they were once assistants to the chairman. Low compensation relative to competitors and the attitude they everyone can be replaced by someone who costs less, regardless of talent. We've lost good employees rather than make small compensation improvements. HR doesn't get replacements that are as cable as we always look for the cheapest option. Ethics seems to be becoming less not more important here. Very hard to move from VP to SVP without leaving the firm at some point. Loyalty not rewarded the way it use to be under TJ.
