Pros

Love working here. Some days it is a little hard to keep up with, but I'm surrounded by people willing to help if I'm overwhelmed. I learn a lot that way! The HighTower community is strong, and I always feel comfortable meeting new people. HighTower is transparent, the president is always updating everyone on our goals, the state of the business and what our next steps are. If I have questions I know I can ask and it seems like my understanding is important to him, which makes me feel included.

Cons

HighTower is fast paced, and if you want something done you need to make it happen for yourself. Everyone has to hold themselves accountable for their work and how they accomplish it, as well as their attitude.
