Pros

Paul Bonner is a great leader and everyone in an upper management role fosters a team environment. There was also a lot of professional development at all levels. Very supportive of upward growth within the department.

Cons

The leadership of the firm is an environment where a small group of partners make decisions across the partnership. This isn’t unusual in a firm environment but it did create red tape environments frequently. However, I found that HR takes issues very seriously and it felt like a safer environment than other firms.

Business Outlook

Pros

As with any company, department and team plays a big part of how the job is. Lucky to have a great manager and division that’s supportive and encouraging of business professional staff.

Cons

Only been here about 8 months, no major cons yet. Some HR deductibles are a little odd (all commuter monies come out of second paycheck of the month and adjustments must be made super early in the month before a change).
