Long hours, below average pay - Equity Research Analyst Baird Employee Review

Cliquey employees in department Pay is not competitive at all, especially until you’re promoted to an associate which depends on your sales score (stupid, and sales force is lazy) and takes at least 3 years All white males Benefits aren’t that great They don’t fire under-performers Long hours A few of the senior analysts are unethical or work their analysts to the bone but upper management looks the other way if they are tenured or bring in a lot of commissions/client engagement Poor work/life balance, good luck taking any of the “PTO” they promise in the interview when your senior analyst gets mad if you try to take one day off in 6 months
