Poor company to work for, be careful

Pros

As long as you are comfortable being a number on a spreadsheet that could be fired at any time irrespective of your personal performance, this is a place to collect a pay check until something else comes along. If you are a Producer that doesn't produce very much, you can get a six figure job for a year or so until they fire you.

Cons

This is purely a company that Goldman Sachs private equity bought to make Goldman Sachs obscene amounts of money. You will lose and cannot benefit from a good career with stability and you and your colleagues could be eliminated at any time based upon how much profit Goldman wants. There are much better places to be in this business.

Middle market roll-up that lacks direction

Pros

Like most places, there are decent people and those who provide value and know their job. I think the senior folks at corporate are, in fact, very knowledgeable and hard working. The newer regime is more data oriented and less relationship oriented than prior leadership. This works well to maximize margins and keep owners happy. The company managed to survive fairly well during the down turn and is now healthier than many of its peers. It's likely to make Goldman a lot of money when it's sold. Since there is lots of turnover, there are always openings.

Cons

There has been such an emphasis on cost cutting that most employees are not well paid and have not received a raise or bonus in years. There is a lot of employee turnover. Not all senior management are suited to the job. Very few employees have equity or long term prospects. The markets that USI sells into are stagnant so it's very difficult to grow sales. Despite being privately held, USI tends to be a short term focused company. Changing ownership every few years makes it hard to build employee trust.

Pros

Some opportunities for advancement. Flexibility for time off.

Cons

No communication between upper management and staff. Management overpays many who do not work and underpays those who do.
