Pros

The people are mostly out of school and all quite ambitious. There is opportunity to move in client roles and be in a position to generate income and revenue. The company is doing well and hiring all the time.

Cons

Not enough training sometimes, but they are trying to do more of it. The technology needs some updating.

Pros

I like the people I worked with. Most started with a positive attitude and are smart and fun. I learned about the differences between the different types of investment firms, which was all new for me.

Cons

I haven't had many jobs, so it was hard to compare Guidepoint or know if it's like every other company until I left. I've started working at another small company now and I can see the differences. It was a very sour place. We were treated like factory workers, even though we had people from good schools. The CEO walks around to see who was at their desks. We received emails before snowstorms and hurricanes telling us we had to come to the office no matter what. Like it was ok if we got hit by a car or something. By the time I left almost all of the people I knew when I started didn't work there anymore. And when I was there, everyone I knew was looking for a job. It was like being a senior in college again, with 3 classes having graduated in front of us and most students being freshmen, sophomores and juniors. And everyone still there looking for a job.

A JOKE

Pros

Get paid with no accountability or risk of being fired, even for compliance breaches. If mediocrity is what you seek- this is the perfect place!

Cons

CEO has no idea how to run a company, is aloof, and has no respect for any employees. The better people perform, the more he shuns them. He is probably the biggest de-motivator of people I have ever had the misfortune to have worked with. Employee morale is awful, and everyone is constantly searching for another job. Compliance is a major issue at the company, as major breaches generally are swept under the rug.
