Pros

- Unbelievable team (young, diverse and social) - There are not any bad managers - which was a turn off for other similar companies. All managers are genuinely interested in the company and its success within the industry - Fastest growing out of its competitors. You get the chance to gain a lot of responsibility very quickly and get your ideas heard straight off the bat.

Cons

- Projects can be difficult and times pressured (but this is also exciting in most cases)

Pros

Free snacks; Relaxed dress code; Free beer on Fridays; First stop for recent grads until anything better comes around.

Cons

Low paying; No career trajectory; Repetitive and dumb work; They don't listen to ideas/advices/needs/feedbacks; Old computers; Micromanaging; Management doesn't care about employees, even if you do really well in your job and try your best at everything, you don't get recognized for it!

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate learning about your particular experience and are invested in ensuring a positive work experience at Guidepoint. We recognize that certain elements of the entry level Research Analyst/Client Service Associate position can be repetitive, and often find that repetition early in the role is a great way to learn and refine skills needed for success. Guidepoint values mentoring at all management levels. Many members of our staff value the support from their managers as a strong motivator for success. For example, one of our current Research Analysts says, “[My manager] wants everyone to do well, and he wants everyone to succeed, and he prioritizes that above his own recognition or success, and to have that support, as well as to see that professional discipline, makes me want to work really hard every day.” Even though we’re committed to our people, turnover is a natural event that all companies experience. We are happy to confirm that turnover rates have decreased and overall tenure has increased as we continue to promote internally and create new opportunities for our employees. Thank you again for your input. Please email us at feedback@guidepoint.com should you wish to continue the conversation about your experience.

Pros

Great place to be, especially right out college. Exposure to so many different industries and valuable skills such as cold calling, organization/time management, managing clients/exposure to clients early on, researching, communicating in a professional setting You get out what you put in, if you are a hard and dedicated worker, there is a clear path for promotions and room to grow in the near future Great environment, fun culture, friendly and welcoming - young company that definitely works hard but plays harder Upper management is very friendly and open to recommendations on how to improve - never an issue with asking questions either Training program super helpful for entry level - there is mentoring program

Cons

Not just anyone can do this job, definitely a science to the madness that takes time to master
