Pros

Very friendly and helpful co-workers. Fun environment to spend your working day around. People always seem to have a smile on their faces, no matter the weather. Always encouraged to look after your personal health, regardless of the current work situation.

Cons

Has a big ramp up time in education for the position I took. This can be frustrating if you wanted to hit the ground running and write code on day 1.

Pros

I am provided with autonomy in my work and enjoy working with my boss. A culture to promote from within on the sales desk. Compensation is good/above average for an internal wholesaler. Growing company that looks to continue establishing itself in the independent & broker dealer/wire distribution.

Cons

A lack of track record promoting to the field (external wholesalers). People will generally start as sales support specialists prior to being promoted to internal wholesalers. This can take around a year for most people. CRM and other internal systems are not up-to-date despite living in a tech hub.
