Business Outlook

Pros

Our special culture and the fact that we're an employee-owned firm. We have a flat organizational structure, which allows all associates to make an incredible impact on the firm.

Cons

I don't have any cons. If anything arises that should be addressed, I feel empowered to go the distance to make change happen.

Not always the best place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

The associates on your team and in the back office are friendly, fun, talented and have a great work ethic. Benefits were better than other financial firms in the Milwaukee area. Great place to learn and start a career. Provide excellent professional development opportunities

Cons

Long hours, diversity and inclusion is weak to non-existent, especially in higher paying professional positions. Too many resources spent on Forbes best places to work recognition that could be better spent finding better technology and more resources to support back office departments. Parking in downtown Milwaukee.

Business Outlook

Pros

People that you worked with were amazing. Friendly home office and branch staff. Senior associates knew their jobs and were always willing to help you. PTO time for new associates was generous.

Cons

Salary was not adequate for the work you were responsible for. Work never distributed properly. Long hours. Never enough time in the day to get work accomplished.
