Pros

Benefits and co-workers. That’s literally it.

Cons

Where to begin. This company does not value its employees. They do not listen to employee suggestions or complaints. They think they know what’s best but they are not in the research position and actually have no clue. This is NOT research. It is a call center and borderline telemarketing. The data is not accurate because the higher ups just want you to continually call and harass brokers all day every day instead of doing any research. They make impossible metrics so that you literally don’t have any time to do actual research or provide quality data since you’re back to back calling and saying stupid branding statements that make you sound like a robot. Their metrics are physically impossible to meet and the only way anyone meets them is bycheating. Yes, every one cheats here just so they don’t get fired. And the biggest cheaters? They get rewarded, glorified and promoted. This place is a JOKE. I have been at the company for years and I have yet to meet one person who enjoys their job as a research associate. Every day people are talking about how bad they want to quit and how much they hate their jobs. It is very obvious to spot the fake reviews that management writes on here. They do write fake reviews so be careful. Stay away at all costs for your own mental health and well-being. They will try to bring you in by showing you the perks at the offices but let me just tell you these perks are not worth your misery.

Pros

There are seasonal fruits available in the kitchen. Occasionally they change the variety of salads.

Cons

Imagine a world where nothing you do matters. Everyday is the same insane task. You fill the colander with water, it strains, you fill it again. This is a call center. The only thing you will do is call. Expect HR to reject your tuition reimbursement. Expect to be denied entry to other positions in the company. Expect to be bored.

Pros

The company has great vision, good culture depending on which office you're in, great benefits, pay was descent, room for growth depending on which office or location you start at.

Cons

It doesn't matter how long or what Title you have with the company you're just another mindless drone to them. After being with the company over a decade I have seen VP's, Directors, Managers who have been with the company for years some over a decade get fired within hours and on top of that without notice. It seemed like as the company got bigger it became a revolving door with no sympathy for their employees.
