      Pros

      -There's a lot of smart people that work at the firm -For the most part, everyone who works at Baird wants to work there. It's not just a paycheck. -There's a lot of room for process improvements. If you have any sort or skills with Excel or SQL, then you will immediately be an asset. -Very flexible work schedules if you have kids -Great intern program, a lot of them get hired on

      Cons

      - Given that the back office isn't directly income producing, not a ton of IT resources are allocated to the department, but I imagine that's the somewhat standard across the industry. -There's a lot of paper/printing/faxing -Not a whole lot of professional growth

      Good old boys club & political

      Pros

      Many good people work here and decent benefits/salaries.

      Cons

      From the top it's a good old boys club. The top execs all worked together at a prior firm and they protect their own (i.e. Jim Herrick story). It's also very political, no matter the department. Everyone is trying to prove how they are better than everyone else through backstabbing and blaming of others. Maybe that's common at all companies but being a manager here is exhausting because the lower level employees are always right. Instead of actually managing, it's your job to keep everyone happy.
