Pros

Great company to work for. Culture is out of this world. They treat their people with respect and enable those with ability to move up in the organization quickly. They have a great compensation package and are in a great area. My boss there let me have the freedom to explore what I thought was important rather than just tow the company line.

Cons

Pay isn't the best. It's about 2/3 of what you'd really want from an investment firm. But that's to be expected as it's a low-cost provider.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
