Pros

- The benefits package is awesome. I started out of college with 15 days PTO and now it is up to 22 days. 401K match is dollar for dollar up to 4% and then they do an additional 10% on top. Great health care coverage too

Cons

-Salary is low, the Partnership/bonus structure was changed for the worse a few years ago -Career development is not that great....management seems to have favorites or something

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”.
