Pros

Salary was great. My coworkers were amazing

Cons

My manager was horrible. She didn't know how to manage people, but was great at her job, so got promoted. Leadership didn’t care about the lower levels of workers. Constantly reminded you that “they were leadership” and “you were not.” Felt like they “wanted your feedback” but then when you gave it, and it was negative, there was defensiveness that you “weren’t falling in line”. Overall, the culture of the business was quite toxic in my opinion.

-I did not know anything about finance, just had sales experience to my name and an open mind to learning and they took me in and tought me so much. -Benefits are top tier, from the basics to some that you didn't know they even existed. -They give you 8 hours a quarter for personal development. -Good pay without even including bonus or language add ons. -You will learn a LOT -

Cons

-2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
