Pros

-Huge opportunity to be involved in every part of the business and actually make a difference on how the firm operates. Lots of exposure to different parts of the business as well as the ability to meet clients and relatively quickly manage clients on your own. -Fortitude is also pretty good about treating employees well. Overall they are true partners to their clients, which isn't always the case. The employees are all really smart and work hard to get work done well. The new office is a plus. Every Monday at lunch we play disc at lunch, its a great workout & perk! *Leaders that takes the time to get to know each employee *Quarterly peer reviews *Engaging projects *Great promotion potential *You will look forward to the yearly conference like you look forward to Christmas (they go all out). *The benefits are great: monthly happy hours, company boat, & a stock incentive program.

Cons

Need to improve on-boarding process.

Pros

Wow, I have never seen so many consecutive positive reviews in a company in the span of such a short time! It says a lot about the recruiting process when a company assigns out employees to do Glassdoor reviews. For contractors- work for these guys- they will bite and claw to get you in the door, mostly out of fear of being fired if they do not.

Cons

Work-life balance is non existent. Please get used to your coworkers because you will be convinced into becoming their roommates. This is a place where you are able to go after school and work long hours every week to make a low 30k salary. If you do well you can make a lot more than that and work a lot more than that. Just keep drinking the koolaid and convincing yourself that you want to be there.

Pros

The culture is a second to none. I moved to Chicago from college and I didn't know than 2 people in the whole city of Chicago. For most recent college grads that can be a daunting proposition- Fortitude did everything to make that transition easy. First, they have a corporate apartment that I stayed in for free for my first 8 weeks. I was able to save a lot of money that first 8 weeks since I had no expenses; I also met two recent college grads that I ended up living with for the next year. The transition was great. The mentorship program is the main reason why i have recommended this to two of my friends who have since started working at Fortitude. Everyone in a sales/account executive/exec position is expected to mentor young employee's & they take this VERY seriously. They care a lot about making sure everyone has every chance to be successful. It isn't your normal big company that churns and burns all these entry level college grads. They bring in around 10 to each office, and there will be around 7 of those guys standing a year later- very rare amongst companies that hire entry-level. The proof is in the pudding around here, you will see a ton of referrals because employee's believe in where this is going. We are having tons of success, but it is because we have great leadership/people/process.

Cons

The interview process can be daunting. Certainly not your normal process- it can be an all day process, just be yourself. This isn't for someone that is just looking for a "job". You really have to be mature enough and prepared to want a career, most of our interviewee's aren't there yet.
