Business Outlook

Pros

Surrounded by smart, capable people. Emphasis on doing right by our clients. Well documented philosophy and process for building portfolios makes it easy to discuss with clients.

Cons

Tendency towards micro-management from the highest levels of the firm. No transparency on comp, which is below industry avg. Political promotions far outstrip merit-based promotions. Senior leaders are very smart and capable, but are not strong businessman. Need to hire a real CEO who knows how to run a business and deal with people. Many opportunities to build positive morale are overlooked (celebrate a milestone by having a 1 hour happy hour on Friday at 5pm? Why not do it at 3pm and let people go home a bit early? Costs you nothing, but employees are thrilled!)
