Pros

It was interesting to be part of such a rapidly growing company. There were plenty of nice people there

Cons

Overall it was a very frustrating environment to work in. In my opinion it was a poorly managed company. Most opening were filled externally rather than promoting within. This was despite countless new openings all the time

Pros

At the time, it was called Claymore Securities and it had a SME feel it. Generally, everyone knew each other's names and, to some degree, what was going on in their personal lives. Generally, the crowd is younger. You get paid a lot of money to do very little work.

Cons

-Incredibly high degrees of nepotism. Only those in the inner circle were promoted. Very seldom was it based on true talent. - Management's blind positivity inhibited them from effectively receiving feedback. - The culture is broken: there is mixed messaging regarding touting yourself as an SME and then firing people without a notice or reason.

Pros

Guggenheim provides the opportunity to get as involved as you would like in a wide range of financial services offered.

Cons

Due to the sudden growth of the firm after acquiring other companies, people have been worried about turnover and switching of hands.
