Pros
There’s no question that AGC encourages rapid growth and an intense sense of community among its team members. The company demands a high level of dedication and attention to detail in everything that you do, while providing the resources and access to knowledge necessary to create a work product that you can be proud of. I have been at AGC for over half a year now, and have learned and developed more than I ever imagined possible not only as an employee but as a person in general. I feel that I have become incredibly independent and resourceful as a result of the atmosphere that AGC promotes, and the support that you receive from working at a small company like this is unparalleled. As an administrative assistant with a strong interest in marketing, I have been able to take on way more marketing responsibilities than expected in my first year here which is a testament to the fact that AGC quickly recognizes and rewards passion and solid performance. Our CEO is interacting with the analysts, interns, partners and operations team on a daily basis, and team outings and events are constantly being planned to facilitate bonding and personal relationships among all levels of the company. I could not have asked for a better first job out of college and will always be grateful for the experiences and friendships I am gaining here at AGC.
Cons
AGC is not a company for people who are looking to just coast by. There is undoubtedly a high expectation set for each and every employee regardless of their position and everyone must come into their role expecting to work their hardest at all times. That being said, there is immense personal and professional reward that comes along with this level of expectation and I would not trade it for the world.
