Okay for an entry level

Portfolio manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Travel, benefits, good entry level experience

Cons

No upward growth unless you are unless you are apart of the "boys club". Too much favoritism and management doesn't stick up or go to bat for their staff. They're too worried about "rocking the boat" and their positions. You are pretty much left to learn on your own as everyone is spread too thin. Since the headquarter is not based in Buffalo there is limited opportunities. The office has too much gossip and drama like a High School. Unless you're apart of the club you're overlooked alot even those producers. Promises not followed through. Don't recognize great talent.

Pros

After working in cross-collaborative teaming environments, you quickly realize all companies simply don't have that type of culture. Not for me and therefore no pros.

Cons

"Stay in your lane" culture

Pros

Most people love the team and their immediate coworkers. Pay is pretty good. Awesome year end holiday party.

Cons

No communication between divisions of company. Upper management is pure bottom line company and will take away employee perks out of nowhere.
