Pros

We have a shiny new building close to Crocker Park! That's about it. Most of the positive comments on other posts have been planted there in response to the true responses. I should add though that it is an interesting product and you do learn about some neat ways that people invest and make money in their IRA.

Cons

Top executives are pitted against each other. I have actually witnessed screaming matches between 2 longer term C-level leaders. I should say many of us did since it was right in front of everyone. When "leadership" reads a new book that becomes the new flavor of the month management philosophy. Examples: TopGrading "we only retain A players", Jobs, "we are just like Apple", etc. The gym, new building are just for show. There is not a humane thought process in the leadership team. More than once I have heard when an error has occurred, "who do we fire?". You get the sense that there is not a strong moral compass from "leadership", well at least when they are actually there.

Pros

A free gym? I don't really know to be completely honest. Sure they have onsite ammendities but the boys club is so cheap they make you pay excessively for mediocre food, car detailing and.... Well that's about all. If you don't mind that then I guess its a perk

Cons

Most definitely could go on and on. Years ago management cared for you. They recognized individual skill sets and would take it and developed you. It was easy to learn the business and so much more. Now its become the biggest joke amongst employers/employees you might ever experience. I would not ever reccomend this place to anyone. Employees are under paid and overworked. There is a horrible "metric system" of which you are measured on which takes away from the "client experience" that they believe they are actually achieving (Time will reveal the results of repeated horrifying decisions on all levels) Tons of micromanaging, tons of beaucracy, discrimination and quite frankly a complete disappointment to the workforce. They will build you up very quickly just to smash you back into the ground. There is zero "human" in any decisions that are made. Disposable employees only please.
