Pros

Grow has invested training time and dollars to help me do my job better. They also maintain very good employee benefits, including matching 401k contributions. They frequently provide and promote recognition to employees (below management levels). These are benefits and opportunities that are disappearing in many companies - especially those that are downsizing. For people who want to work and take advantage of opportunities within the company, the environment is great. I've seen many people promoted because of their dedication to the members and the organization.

Cons

Every company has issues and challenges, Grow is no exception. Are there challenges in communicating across a 500-person organization? Of course. But, I have seen changes to know that the company is working to improve. There are also challenges when the role of certain jobs changes. Some of this is due to changes in banking, and some is due to our current economy. Change is everywhere, and Grow has to adapt like every other business.

Pros

- Hires excellent people - Decent pay off the bat - Gym on-premises - LGBT-friendly - Tuition reimbursement

Cons

- Pay raises are abysmal (average ~0.20 per year for high-performing employees in lower-level positions, often below inflation levels) - Upper and middle level management routinely make decisions that impact the day-to-day lives of the gears of the company without regard for the people whose lives they will impact - Mid-to-upper management sometimes treat lower-level employees like children; very highschool-like atmosphere in some environments more so than others - Pervasive "don't like it? Leave" attitude towards employees - No incentive for performance other than sales performance; back-office employees get the shaft here - Unrelated college degree > experience in determining who can apply for promotions, despite the company's own training system advising against this practice - Poor communication from management
