Pros

Learned a lot and got a good introduction to the industry; worked with other analysts from all over the globe with various levels of experience

Cons

To me it always seemed like the strategy lacked direction and would change on the whims of a large client; a lot has changed since I left, so hopefully this isn't the case anymore; For nyc the salary wasn't that good

Pros

This is the company that provides extensive training and high prospects for growth. Self-motivated and driven sales people will have plenty of opportunity to earn healthy commission (probably the best commission rates on the market), while those interested in a career growth will find potential to step up and take on the senior positions. They tend to hire from within for the management role, and very much value staff retention. The company has recently undergone a full re-branding and united various businesses within the group under one umbrella. To avoid confusion, a great deal of focus, determination, and hard work is required to succeed here, but they support all employees through a regular training, full CRM access, data, and quality products.

Cons

I could not think of one.

Pros

1) Get to work with bright, friendly and enthusiastic people. 2) Can be a good stepping stone for other 'better' companies. 3) Become experienced at writing leaving cards.

Cons

1) There is no time for training. It is on the job learning, but without the time for the learning. 2) There is very little support, which can make you feel quite isolated at times. 3) Communication about staff expectations and progress is very poor. At times, it is unprofessional. 4) The company recruits a lot of very talented and enthusiastic people, but there is no desire to develop and retain people. This means there aren't many experienced people to train junior team members. 5) Staff are given constant reminders about how they are unappreciated. No pay rises, which means pay effectively goes down. Staff are forced to use 3 days of their 23 days holiday for Christmas break. There isn't even a kettle in the office! Consequently, there is a lot of negativity amongst staff towards the company and a very high turnover. This creates a very de-motivating work environment.
