Pros

Ares does a great job of providing benefits to their employees and they pay is above average.

Cons

Too many people are unhappy. Period. I feel like they keep adding new benefits to retain employees but people need more than that to be happy. It seems like leadership isn't in touch with what is really going on. Plus too many politics.

Poor management and over inflated egos

Pros

Good salary and benefits.

Cons

Untrustorthy management and HR not interested in employees just satisfying management. Was a great company but over inflated egos employed over last few years make it an unpleasant company to work for. If you have a mind of your own this is not the company to work for but if you are a yes person then Ares is for you
