High Turnover + High Conflict Environment

Pros

Nice office that is centrally located in Highland Park.

Cons

I resigned several times but ended up working here for over a decade before finally resigning for good and walking away; I experienced/observed the following: constant infighting, bickering, and tattletale-ing (if you work here, be ready to attend "team meetings" about chewing gum and to have co-workers that are overly concerned with your comings and goings); high turnover, horrible boss (intimidating, gossip (promotes tattletale environment), sarcastic, smug, condescending, often rude to employees, clients, and vendors), slow to promote (females), micro-managing (of females only), enormous workload, high conflict + highly critical environment (for females). Compensation is mediocre (at best) and not at all commensurate with the workload and you have to really fight for better pay and promotions that you deserve. Additionally, a former Senior VP at Venture was arrested last year and sentenced to prison for robbing banks. He even robbed one of Venture’s own client’s branches. Chaos.

Pros

It is a fun environment, most of the people who work here are nice, and they are usually flexible when missing work for important family/personal matters depending on what your position is.

Cons

The micromanagement is unbelievable on the staff side. People are severely underpaid for the amount of work they’re given, and raises are only an option once a year during your employee review. Again on the staff side, you will notice that your work goes severely unappreciated. Many people do not clean up after themselves in the kitchen, leaving it to the project managers and administrative staff. Also, there is absolutely no room for growth unless you are on the Broker side of the company.
