Pros

They pay well, so there’s that.

Cons

The company culture is horrible. Nobody actually cares about anyone they work with outside a few exceptions. It feels like working with a bunch of high school kids who never grew up. Very toxic and childish coping mechanisms and behaviors within management and especially the C-Level team. Owner is manipulative towards his employees and openly attacks women in their company wide slack channel. It’s bad. I would not ever recommend to a friend of mine to work there. Work life balance is horrible. The onboarding process from the company is nonexistent and there are minimal processes and procedures to work there. The company has also been on a downward trend for the last 3 years and the private equity company that invested in them is panicking and pushing them to make changes.

Pros

Lower-level staff is great. Friendships to be had. Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Everything else. Low pay compared to industry standards, mandatory unpaid overtime for most roles. Bumbling executives who have no respect for your personal time/work life balance. Lots of creepy men in upper management who will flirt with you nonstop. CEO is a creep with a coke problem. Complaints and suggestions are never addressed but management will be quick to complain about everything you do when your trying your hardest. Avoid this place like the plague.

Pros

Have a lot of talented people working there.

Cons

Toxic environment, poor employee moral, sub-par management. Over worked and under paid is the actual Benzinga Way. If you're applying, don't expect to be paid much for the work you will be doing. You'll be compensated in experience rather than with, you know, acutal money. There's also a lot of office politics and a lot of shady things that happen behind the scenes.
