Well it depends...

Pros

This place is a good starting point. Most of the people here are very nice, I say most because when I say "good morning" to someone I don't really know, most of them say hello back, some just ignore me. The CEO seems pretty genuine and is receptive to feedback, since it is a small office you will run into him often. There are perks, we get food (lunch) every so often and we get special treats each month to celebrate birthdays. The benefits are good and the salary is not bad as well. The turnover rate can be a pro if you look at it because you will have the opportunity to move up.

Cons

Some groups are very cliquey and if you're looking to move up, please note that it's probably based more on how well you know the manager/people in the group you're applying for moreso than credentials. Also, the turnover is pretty high, which I feel comes from micro-management/ managers playing favorites... I mean come on you can have your favorites, but at least be a little discreet as to not upset the other employees.

Beyond Building A Foundation

Pros

Harbor provides an environment that fosters diverse ideas, open-mindedness and cross department collaboration. While being a small, diverse organization, Harbor provides opportunities one may not receive while working for a large organization. Between training, phenomenal technology resources, outstanding working environment, and the talent employed at Harbor, one's future is in it's own hands. If you want to excel in your career by receiving necessary resources, whether it's mentorship, continuing education or assistance with paying off your current student loans, Harbor provides the type of support where one can be not only successful, but more well-rounded as an individual. Harbor is governed by a set of principles that guide the business. Each employee is presented the Harbor Principles upon hire. The company as a whole refers to these principles when conducting business or making policy or process enhancements. These principles ensure we are always acting in the best interest of the shareholder. Compensation is competitive and raises and bonuses are equitable and regular. Harbor also provides unparalleled health and welfare benefits to its employees coupled with a company 401k match and retirement contribution that is beyond generous. The standards in which Harbor conducts business, treats employees and provides shareholders is second to none. I am proud to be an employee of Harbor Capital Advisors.

Cons

Harbor Capital Advisors is a smaller organization (75-150 employees) but one can go far if they are dedicated and show promise. Harbor will promote from within if employees are deserving and have earned a promotion. Harbor is not the type of organization that is title-centric. Because of its size, there are not multiple layers where employees can move several levels with promotions in a short period of time. Because there is low turn over, some employees may leave Harbor to pursue other interests or because they want to seek management opportunities or advance their career in a more "title" sort of way.

Small without room for growth

Pros

Great benefits and working environment. Downtown location is great. There are lots of free lunches and snacks.

Cons

Very small without much room for growth unless you are one of the chosen people. Tuition reimbursement is great but having to stay an additional 3 years can lessen the value of the degree.
