      Pros

      Great employees. Great pay. That's about it.

      Cons

      The expectancies of your manager are unachievable. You are under a microscope at all times and your work is constantly reviewed to make sure you branded the company properly. The company cares more about the image they have than the actual information added to the database. Top brokerage firms who pay thousands a month are constantly reminded how many people look at our website, yet researchers will fumble to get the right information added because we are told to focus on the amount of calls we make. No matter how much work you have to do, you are told to just make calls until you hit your number. Little room for advancement. You can become a research associate II, but it is literally the same thing as a research associate I with a slight pay increase.

      Pros

      Decent pay, good benefits, very young, offer snacks, beautiful building. The job itself does not have many pros associated unfortunately

      Cons

      Bottom line: Upper level management couldn't care less about it's researches. You're essentially given a list of brokers to call each day and verify information while shoving branding statements down their throat. If you enjoy being a call robot, this is the job for you. If you don't reach a certain number of 90 second calls a day, they have no issue letting you go, which is unfoetunate because some regions may be more open to talking to you than others.

      We appreciate you leaving a review and thanks for your time with us. Calling is an essential part of the research process and it obtains information that often simply cannot be obtained any other way. Our metrics are carefully designed to create value for our clients and to help the research team excel.

      Pros

      9-5 then you go home no questions asked If you are working in DC they pay for your metro fee

      Cons

      Feels like you are in college again A lot of micro managing No real skills are developed in this role besides calling This role works like an inside sales role, all you do is call. Don't fool yourself in thinking that you are going to be an expert, your friends will have real jobs at other companies while you are just here working like a call robot
