Pros

The biggest pro to working for ETC was developing relationships with co-workers that is sure to last a lifetime. While not everyone took pride in their work, there were some pretty talented people employed at ETC and it made working there tolerable to some degree. Another advantage was you continuously learned something new when it came to investing through a self directed IRA.

Cons

The work can be stressful and burn an individual out especially when not given the tools needed to perform their daily tasks. If one department is short staffed, they pull people from other departments which takes them away from their work. Time is not given to catch up on your tasks. Management NEVER steps in to assist.

Pros

Upper Manageemtn/Executives are actively involved in the day to day operations. They are incredibly approachable and make sure they are seen by their departments on a daily basis. The company culture is AMAZING! Never have I had an employer who was so open and flexible to employees opinions and suggestions. There is always something fun going on at work. The new facility is incredible. The cafeteria is so convenient and the free gym is a great perk!!!

Cons

Fast paced environement- Can be a pro/con depending on your work style and ability to keep up with the changes
