      Company won’t grow until they get rid of useless CEO and COO

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Branch leadership and coworkers are fantastic, and operate with a great teamwork mentality. Always feel supported by the team. Work life balance is good.

      Cons

      CEO/COO constantly find ways to decrease headcount and bonuses regardless of end of year performance vs goals. Yet they always get their bonuses. Neither seems apprised to what actually goes on day-to-day in the revenue generating sections of the firm. Tone deaf communication from the C suite, hindering the work of quality leaders below the c suite level. 401k match vests over 4 years, which defeats the purpose. They make you pay for parking at the office they require you to go to every day.
