Amazing management - Retail Sales Associate FMI Corporation Employee Review

Very great team. Fun work. Very helpful

Not applicable I enjoyed it a lot

- Organization is full of opportunities if you seek them out - Partners are some of the smartest people you will work with, have a wealth of knowledge - Company is well respected in its industry as an expert - Culture is a mixed-bag, can be stressful at times, but creates great bonding experiences with coworkers. - Can gain experience with in-person exposure, working with C-suite execs, which can be a huge resume boost - As with any organization, if you find a partner or senior level employee to champion you, you will go far and get a ton of great opportunities. - The Private Equity group is very well run and organized, having a very repeatable and templatized process.

- Organization is poorly run, with discombobulated internal processes. - The org does not practice what they preach. FMI consults clients on streamlining processes and even performs internal Employee Surveys for clients, gathering feedback on how a company can improve. The reality is, FMI does not do this for their own people. They have a Leadership group, which can train internal leaders, just as much as they do client’s leaders. Compensation practice could do internal studies, just as they do external with clients. Instead, they focus more on the client and the bottom line than their own people and organization. - Time management is a real problem, with workload often getting dumped on Analyst level positions with little to no notice - High stress environment - As any organization can be, there are middle managers who seem to not have much clue on how to create a feedback environment conducive to growth - Salary is low compared to positions at other organizations - Internal processes are not structured well - Work/life balance is poor, often having to work weekends, holidays, or over vacation. - High levels of burnout among junior staff - Guidance and feedback from middle-upper management is often not constructive and can be perceived as nitpicky - Upper management is out of touch with junior staff, sometimes flaunting expensive lavish vacations and material items. - Professional Development is not well thought out.
