      Great Perks and Benefits. Oppressive and Uninspiring Management. Directors need management training. HR is Indifferent.

      Pros

      Great health benefits, 401K, gym. No museum or arts admissions, but perks are good nonetheless. Highly renowned company with exposure to high profile investors/entities. Very intelligent people. Great Manhattan location. Great, consistent bonuses.

      Cons

      Managers are from great schools but lack managerial skills. Extremely stifled environment, too corporate and soul killing. Everyone has a stick up their arse--sorry, it's the best I can put it. Distance between managers and assistants is demoralizing. HR doesn't give a crap about assistants; they only care about keeping managers happy. Managers burn through assistants. Total dead end job.

      Pros

      great managing director who is well respected, and treats the staff well. Only issue is that the amount of hours she puts in, can be intimidating and can sometimes make for an imbalance of life and work

      Cons

      Really bright people and all super achievers, and yet theres a fair amount of people who do not work and just cruise. Not sure why management doesnt see the hanger on types and make a change
