Great Resume Builder, Although Challenging

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

Great line on your resume, you may get the chance to work on large accounts.

Cons

Very political. They say they want differing perspectives, but only if the different perspectives align with the old ones. The senior managers seem to champion change, but that message isn't acted out in the trenches. Micromanagement is also an issue.

Thanks for the review! If you are struggling with lack of flexibility on your account mix, I would recommend going to your manager with a plan for your future and ladder up to that plan why different accounts would help you achieve goals you and your manager should write together during common review.

Pros

Good work life balance, Great people, Fantastic Managers, Good Community

Cons

Underpaid, FA role is more clicking of buttons and chasing people down than using your brain. Tedious boring work.
