Pros

Learned some good professional skills there as with any job.

Cons

I mostly wanted to introduce three main points for those seeking employment with Generational Equity. This applies to all positions within the company, though especially to those applying for corporate positions at their Dallas, TX headquarters. 1) BE PREPARED FOR A LOW BALL OFFER. Whatever you do, do not accept the first offer. It is their core business to negotiate deals so they execute the very same strategy with their employees. They likely will improve their initial offer from there. 2) THEY DO NOT GIVE RAISES. EVER. I was there long enough (several years) to at least get a minimum cost of living adjustment, and didn’t receive any compensation increase during that time whatsoever. So have an exit strategy already in place if you are looking to advance in your career. 3) VERY STRANGE AND ATYPICAL UPPER MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE. The company president is an absentee persona who is also the head “pastor” of a non-denominational megachurch in the area. He is barely even in the office once a month! His executives basically run the company for him and many of them are also associate pastors of this “church”. This should immediately call into question their qualifications and potential conflicts of interest / ethics. Unless you are already a member or become a member of this church, you will NOT be rewarded with any raises or promotions. It’s a strange sense of favoritism I have never seen in my 20+ year corporate career! Bottom line is this: stay away from this company at all costs, especially if you are already have a stable job. And if you find yourself unemployed, then I would only work here if you plan to keep interviewing and leave this company just as soon as possible. Best of luck to anyone considering employment here and to current employees stuck there as well...

I want to start with apologizing for the experience you had with our firm.

The structure of the organization is to support the success of our clients and employees at every level.

Pros

It's pretty easy to get hired because they had a very high turnover in the SBA role. The initial training was good. The break room was very nice. The office was aesthetically okay for a cube farm. The pay was competitive, the bonuses came in the form of VISA or AMEX gift cards. Friendly coworkers. If you can hang out for a year or so, you can get another business development job anywhere in town. You'll be special.

Cons

Do not miss more than your one day off during the probation period. The drudgery was expectedly relentless in that role. Most people either quit within three months to a year, or you could be "quitted" involuntarily because of market fluctuations, or if you get on the wrong side of the floor management through no fault of your own, other than they simply do not like you. You'll be put in a situation where you get mostly voicemails or unqualified prospects that should have been vetted, and you'll be terminated for not making sales through your ever-present probation periods. Expect to be on probation throughout your stay. Co-workers in other departments and upper management could be very condescending to the bottom of the company food chain, the SBAs.
