Small finance company in a volatile market

Pros

Nice kitchen. You may enjoy the long hours. See "Cons" for reasons

Cons

The company used to take a good ride during Federal student loan bubble, benefit from the sky high tuition that college students are paying right now. After the bubble they let go 90% of the employees. You'd better have no moral issue with that. Hours could be long and you may like it. Why? Their biggest bait is ESOP, an employee share ownership benefit, make you own a tiny part of the company. You need to work over 2 yeas to be qualified. And do not be surprised if you get kicked out right before that. Their attorney will draft a settlement letter to make sure you don't sue them.

Pros

Birthday lunches, great view from office deck (though you'll never see it)

Cons

Terrible management, HR retaliates if you criticize the company, they pay you less because you'll be apart of their ESOP, and then they'll fire you/switch you to another company interally so they don't have to pay you out (you lose all the money you've "earned" btw, so they hire under false pretenses, charming!) Vacation is "unlimited" which means they will not approve anything you request off OR they will and then will hold it against you until your last dying breathe (good luck getting a promotion if you take even a week of time off) This is the sketchiest/shadiest company I've ever worked for. Ask anyone who stopped working there in 2019 there real opinion via LinkedIN, I guarantee they'll tell you stories that will make you find another place to work.

Pros

Decent work culture and opportunities. Most people are committed to the development of the business.

Cons

Management has been slowly chipping away at benefits and compensation. the ESOP was dissolved and replaced with very stingy long-term incentives (paid out over 8 years!), and recently bonuses are now subject to sliding scales with managers not being given enough to compensate all employees at 100%. Beware that what you sign up for, as it will most likely be taken away over time.

Thank you for your honest review. We continuously review our benefits and compensation packages and have found that we offer a competitive long term incentive program and bonus plan where we are proud to say that our average bonus payout over the last 5 years is 96%. We’d love to hear your ideas on how we can continue to enhance our total compensation package. Please reach out to HR or your leadership team.
