Pros

Weekly pay from aerotek and nice training hire group...

Cons

Working here was the worst job experience I have ever had. I mostly blame aerotek for telling me this job was perfect for me when I have 0 experience in finance. From the beginning I knew this job would suck. But I tried sticking through. 3 weeks of the WORST training I have ever endured they cram so much hard information all at once. Basically they read off powerpoints ALL day long. Teach us systems we dont even have access too right off the bat. Then immediately put us on calls pair us up for a couple of days then leave us hanging. Literally no one knows what they are doing. There is so much information and so many forms and rules that you have to follow for specific type of accounts. At least 6/21 training hires quit after a month. For my mental health, I couldnt handle this job. They micromanage calls right off the bat ask you what you are doing when you arent on the phone at that moment. They asked for our feedback so many times and never once took it instead they held it against us. Financial Advisors are so rude and mostly treat you like trash. Some are god sent especially after the rude calls but most act like you are the dirt on the ground. If you are feeling pushed to take a job and weary about this one, id say dont. The pay is nice but they dont care about you and they dont teach you anything.

Pros

Lots of room for growth and development. Work is challenging and exciting especially if you like finance. Co-workers are great, helpful, and make the environment more enjoyable.

Cons

No room for full-time employment. Some opportunities are not offered to contract which is understandable but still sucks.

Pros

Great pay and getting OT pay. Awesome team of SMs and RTEs who felt like family and we all wanted to see each other succeed. I was exposed so a lot of situations which strengthened my skill set. Learned the SAFe model and it looks great on resumes. I personally had a great boss, bosses boss, and RTEs.

Cons

Executive leadership is ruining the culture. Many of the amazing Directors, AVPs and RTEs left due to the poor Executive leadership who do NOT know a single thing about Agile principles. Releases are 1x/mo so you have to work one Saturday a month which can sometimes be longer than a normal workday. Release Mgmt team is very difficult to work with and can be very disrespectful. They don’t hide it and it’s accepted. Execs killed remote work.
