Do not accept employment with this company. - Accountant 6800 Capital Employee Review

This month marks my 12th year with 6800 Capital, LLC. It is a great place to work if you are interested in getting your foot in the door of the alternative investment and hedge fund world. During my tenure, I’ve been afforded the chance to learn and work very closely with senior management and industry veterans; something that does not necessarily happen often in a larger scale company where employees are just a number. The company is continually evolving and exploring new business ventures, which offers diversification, stability, and opportunity for corporate and employee growth. Additionally, the relatively small size of the company allows for crossover among different departments and gives you exposure to areas outside of your sphere. The compensation and benefits are good and, in conjunction with a flexible work situation, made the firm a very attractive place for me to launch and continue my career.

The firm has a flat organizational structure, but there is a tremendous amount of opportunity for professional advancement if you have the desire and work ethic to further your skillset. If you're looking to "climb a corporate ladder", you may be better off at one of the larger institutions.

Health benefits, and hours depending on the situation

All of the information provided during the interviewing/hiring process turns out to be incorrect once the employee begins working. There is no training, guidance or assistance from management. Treatment of employees severely declines several months after the hiring process. You are required to learn on your own and the methods and procedures are extremely old school. Nothing in this company is updated and there is constant resistance when management is advised to keep up with current financial trends and technology. You are expected to put in a lot, but there is no benefit to the sacrifices you make as an employee. You quickly learn that other employees are extremely unhappy and develop no desire to come into work daily yourself. This should be a last resort when it comes to taking a job in the hedge fund industry, as there are surely better companies out there.
