Pros

Great place for someone who wants to learn how private equity operates and gain exposure to how a PE-backed company is run. You’ll learn a lot quickly and develop strong stress-management skills in a fast-paced environment.

Cons

I joined expecting a finance environment, but much of the role became focused on managing severe liquidity constraints and extending supplier payments due to ongoing cash flow challenges. The company is highly leveraged and heavily dependent on revolver capacity to fund operations. WHOEVER LEADS CASH NEEDS TO GO!!! They are clueless when it comes managing cash.
