Excellent Perks | Unhealthy Environment
Pros
The gorgeous office space and rapid increase in responsibility are aspects of the company that I most enjoyed. My time at Ruiz Asset Management/Trinity Management was a learning experience. I felt as if my employment was a great opportunity to gain industry-related knowledge while cultivating great relationships with both internal and external employees. Year-end bonuses/salary increases are extremely generous and dependent on the dedication displayed throughout the course of the year. Individuals at RAMCO/Trinity Management are very eager to learn, especially if given the opportunity. Employees possess a sense of well-roundedness as the day-to-day responsibilities are constantly revolving.
Cons
My first 6-9 months of employment were excellent - as an outsider, teamwork and teambuilding appeared to be a driving force leading the company to success. After changes in company structure, I noticed an inherent lack of communication which only appeared to worsen over time. Personal tasks (from company executives) were delegated to others with a strong sense of urgency with little to no consideration for actual, work-related deadlines. In a professional work environment, criticism is often given to help employees grow both personally and professionally. Issues should be addressed with tastefulness and grace - instead, most situations were handled inappropriately, leaving room for error and misunderstanding. Employee turnover was alarming. Like most, I was a bit surprised by certain company practices. Individuals who leave (voluntarily or otherwise) should be treated with respect, especially those who work diligently to help offer a seamless transition upon their departure. Based on personal experience, resignations are taken far too personally. “Burning bridges” is inevitable, regardless of how hard you try to maintain a positive, working-relationship with company executives. Those with an education, strong work ethic, impeccable organizational skills, and the ability to adapt to different personalities/management styles will do well; however, a thick-skin is ABSOLUTELY necessary in order to succeed long-term.
