Pros
Generous accrual PTO Affordable healthcare (but only two HSAs)
Cons
Mesirow needs to adopt the ALLIANT WAY being that we are now an Alliant owned company. I heard they used to offer more to their employees when Alliant was Mesirow Financial. Adopt the Alliant flexibility. Become more flexible. Let go of the control you can’t seem to shake and allow more flexibility with your Illinois offices. Think about your overall employee's wants and needs to create a better work life balance. People are dropping like flies here and the turnover is increasing as people leave for places with better opportunities and more flexibility. I was between Alliant and another competitor before I started and I should have taken the other offer as they seemed to value their employees more during the initial interviews. You have many many millennials working for you at the bottom line (and they're going first)– give them reasons to stay. The few people in control should trust and give their employees more control.
