Pros

I have enjoyed my time here at Hightower thus far. I have experienced rapid career growth compared to my previous roles. I feel included in the decision-making and love the stretch assignments that I have been assigned that will allow more career growth.

Cons

We are in the office working hybrid 2-3 days per week. I do feel this could be 2 days per week max. Also, our benefits are a little higher compared to other organizations but have heard that they are working on lowering our rates/deductibles.

Pros

- Collaborative, helpful team members - smart leadership - lots of opportunities for growth and trying new things, supportive team who wants you to succeed - challenging work but good sense of work/life balance - good culture for being mostly remote - new high-flex pto model for corporate employees means you can take off the time that you need! - great benefits/ salary - there's a lot of free food/lunches in the Chicago office, which is very incentivizing!

Cons

- career paths for entry/mid level employees can be a little unclear, but I think that's very department-specific and something they are working on - working with difficult and high-demand advisory teams can frustrating, even with a good support system - compliance is necessary for this industry, but it does make getting things done more challenging; this is inevitable for anyone working in fin services though. - Some depts. have understaffed teams and it makes it hard to collaborate effectively
