Pros

Partnership, 401k Match, Location, Gyms on site

Cons

Everything. Entire departments wont get increases at year end. They continually add rungs to the ladder as you try to climb up, making it increasing difficult to succeed and get ahead. Hire people right out of college, put them through a leadership program and make them your boss even though they have little to no experience working in your department or managing people. The crew is completely miserable, avoiding talking to each other or making eye contact in the hallways. Half of my department was forced out and we were made to do their jobs without any raises. Taking a laptop makes things even worse, because once you can access their systems at any time you are expected to anytime day or night. All in all my experience was horrible, they took an energetic young go-getter and convinced me I was nothing more then a number in their corporate number game.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
