Pros

I worked with some of the smartest and hardest working people in the industry at HighTower. The operators at HighTower are the most dedicated and hardworking people I've ever met and deserve all of the credit for the success of where HighTower is currently at.

Cons

- NO work life balance (expect to work 55+ hours a week. - Too top heavy when it comes to organization structure. No company needs 20+ individuals telling you what to do. You need operators WHO DO THE WORK! - Dramatic- he said/she said culture. - Poor management - Key Man Risk: Have 1 person doing everything in their department/area of expertise
