Pros
Will get to work with some good people (who are not James)
Cons
James the CEO is an egomaniac. Refuses to learn peoples names. Why would you when you only care about yourself? He openly replied to a employee question in a company wide townhall that they would not support abortion access for Texas employees who need it (in line with his promise to keep costs at an absolute minimum to keep his Warburg Pincus overlords happy). He also cares a whollle lot about keeping his conservative financial advisors very happy. They would loose their heads if James or Kestra ever supported that. Gets very pissy and disgruntled when industry publications post something less than favorable about him. You should’ve seen his reaction when a website wrote how “Kestra's debt is soaring” . He puts on a how dare they disrespect me do they know who I am attitude and refuses to talk to the publication ever after. Also insists upon employees being in office to make himself feel sooo powerful when he walks around HIS beloved office. The rest of mgmt couldn’t care less about being in office but have to kiss the ring.
