Great culture with supportive management

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent place to work. Company culture is one that seems hard to find elsewhere nowadays. Managers care about their direct reports and not only want them to succeed but actively help them gain experience and develop the skills they need to advance in their career. No expected to work crazy hours beyond standard 40 every week but extra hard work never goes unnoticed

Cons

Could benefit from hiring more support in associate positions and build a strong foundation to promote internally

Flexible work arrangements but poor pay and leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

WFH and flexibility in working schedule.

Cons

Uncompetitive pay; unrealistic expectations of their workforce; annual re-orgs; toxic and incompetent leaders with the exception of a couple. There is no room for growth/advancement, but that doesn’t deter them from saddling employees with more responsibility without compensation.
