Pros

From the time I started at Guidepont to today, I have tripled my income. Making 6 figures plus at age 25 ain't bad and surpassed my expectation by quite a bit. It's true that there are less positions that earn this kind of money than don't (mainly project managers in healthcare, sales, and a few generalist teams), but the opportunity to earn for hard work is extraordinary. The whole company is extremely client focused, which it has to be, in order to win and keep clients. It's a fast paced environment, very process oriented, and you work with very smart clients, experts, and co- workers. Since I joined the company has only gotten better in bringing the company together. Guidepoint caters not lunches, sponsors more happy hours, has lounges set up for socialization, and generally supports a more open & friendly atmosphere than ever before. The place has improved drastically since I joined and the company has NEVER been more profitable. The industry and company are on a roll right now and anyone who says differently is dead or blind.

Cons

For those who aren't in the groups that earn, it can stink. You don't get as many opportunities to earn commission. There is micromanagement in some groups which can be stressful, annoying, and just generally restrictive to workflow at times. I get it, there are requests that need to get filled in a competitive, timely matter, but sometimes mgmt can apply unnecessary pressure which doesn't yield results.

Pros

the only pros are the salary and two hybrid days

Cons

Do not take a job with Guidepoint, even if you were a strong student in college and consider yourself a hard worker. The project managers are fine, but the team leads are awful. You won’t learn any tangible skills; the work largely consists of reaching out to people on LinkedIn for hours on end. On top of that, they will let people go very easily. Stay away from this company.
