Pros
-Generous salaries and bonus structures. 401K 1-1 matching is fantastic, once you're around long enough to accrue it. -Smart people who are kind and generally knowledgeable about their little niche of finance. -Weekly company-wide meetings are nice, if a bit empty in terms of actual content.
Cons
-Disorganized company. Lack of hierarchy sounds cool but in reality just means no one knows who is doing what. -The "Chatham Way" is to start and end meetings late. This same ideology guides the information (or lack thereof) that is disseminated to ground-level staff. -Staff is disproportionately family-men, ex-military, and religious folks. Almost entirely white. In a semi-diverse little town, it's startling. -Speaking of the town, Kennett Square is in the middle of nowhere! -Frat-like culture among the predominately-male younger employees. -10+ hours staring at a computer doing repetitive basic tasks is often due to poor communication between business and tech divisions (and the divide is deep). -Little variety or room for growth; prepare for repetitious niche work.
