Wonderful Environment - A Place to Grow
Pros
Like-minded, career-focused, motivated coworkers Positive and friendly work environment Encouraging superiors, potential for upward mobility Generous compensation, full benefits Free breakfast, lunch, and overtime meals Beautiful setting, clean bright offices, lovely office park (LA office) Ares has been an incredible working environment in that it has challenged me and stretched me in terms of handling new information and tasks, but has still been the right pace so that I can work effectively and efficiently without being pushed to my limits. It is exciting to be a part of this always growing team, and I am happy to say that every day I feel more a part of the community.
Cons
Distance both literal and figurative between offices is inconvenient, but not unmanageable (there are however opportunities to connect across departments if you act on them!)
