Business Outlook

Pros

its a good starting point to pad out your resume for another job.

Cons

-Brokers are usually rude, demanding, harass you, yell at you, throw ASAP in every email, ask you to do things that aren't in your job description and are too cheap to get their own dedicated even if they make millions. - Management is awful. They just want to appease the Brokers and don't care about the staff. Even if a broker abuses their admin management will tell the admin to not go to HR. - Raises don't even cover inflation. - Brokers don't even care enough to send a Christmas card or bottle of wine to staff even though we slave away for them all year.

Pros

Good times comparing managerial horror stories with coworkers. Shared Stockholm syndrome bonding.

Cons

They are heavy on management with few people doing the front line work. No room for advancement. No support from management. Suggestions for improvement from those working on site fall on deaf ears.
