Underappreciated Hard Work

Pros

You will shoulder responsibility for growth. Your co-workers are great people who just want to earning a respectable living and the friendship outside of the office is wonderful and genuine.

Cons

You will be underpaid and overworked. You will not be appreciated unless you accept sub-par industry pay and work your butt off while being quiet. The company churns through employees and prefers to hire cheap college talent in place of true industry professionals (because they just take information from other news sources, they aren't analysts). You will be tricked into believing this company is focused on culture but you will be abused and have nothing to point to as you further your career path. The place feels like some pet project and fails to be taken seriously when you ask around the industry what people think of it. You will receive no money from management for resources required to do your job, you will be harassed for any incremental expense incurred for you to perform your job more efficiently and because of that you will find yourself working more than 80 hours per week for less annual pay than a McDonald's employee.

Thanks for your honest feedback. Benzinga cares about giving college students opportunities for empowerment and advancement. BZ rewards outstanding behavior and wants to see all levels regardless of experience be recognized.

Chaotic work place

Pros

They pay well, so there’s that.

Cons

The company culture is horrible. Nobody actually cares about anyone they work with outside a few exceptions. It feels like working with a bunch of high school kids who never grew up. Very toxic and childish coping mechanisms and behaviors within management and especially the C-Level team. Owner is manipulative towards his employees and openly attacks women in their company wide slack channel. It’s bad. I would not ever recommend to a friend of mine to work there. Work life balance is horrible. The onboarding process from the company is nonexistent and there are minimal processes and procedures to work there. The company has also been on a downward trend for the last 3 years and the private equity company that invested in them is panicking and pushing them to make changes.

Pros

Lower-level staff is great. Friendships to be had. Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Everything else. Low pay compared to industry standards, mandatory unpaid overtime for most roles. Bumbling executives who have no respect for your personal time/work life balance. Lots of creepy men in upper management who will flirt with you nonstop. CEO is a creep with a coke problem. Complaints and suggestions are never addressed but management will be quick to complain about everything you do when your trying your hardest. Avoid this place like the plague.
