Pros

Just an overall good, close-knit company to work for. HQ service reps are always helpful and kind when we experience issues at our branch.

Cons

They are behind the times when it comes to technology. We're still 2 generations behind on our web browser and they block us from updating anything. They send us emails alerting everyone that "We are experiencing issues..." Well it's no wonder. It makes it very difficult to get things done.

Pros

Work/life balance Great perks like fitness center Good location Created good relationships Potential opportunities Fun events Many Businesses and restaurants were nearby

Cons

No development, processes were outdated. New processes or work was never approved. Very traditional HR environment. Things were difficult to be improved. The manager was quite challenging and unprofessional. The same manager spoke negatively about other team members or colleagues within the firm. It was quite clear you were being watched on a daily basis like being in kindergarten. An environment that should be focused on team work, improving systems and processes was a little corrupt

Pros

Talented IT staff and fairly decent work/life balance

Cons

- executive office is extremely resistant to change and clearly want to work with people who "play the game" rather than do the job; overall lack of vision for the future, adherent to "old model" values and culture - Forced to trade and invest with stifel once employed (which they don't tell you until you've already signed on). Their trade operations are cantankerous and antiquated, not to mention the steep execution fees for virtually no value added - the CEO is notoriously cheap, unpersonable and profits off employees whenever possible (parking fees, trade accounts, etc); benefits are quite a joke, just like the trade operations
