Pros

None to report. All of the amenities that they highlight are just part of the grand façade. It's just a wall of smoke used to mask the stench of poor employers.

Cons

Ticking time bomb! This company's management cares nothing about its employees. One minute you're safe from being terminated, the next minute you're being escorted out the doors with a box they've conveniently packed full of your things. It doesn't matter how many years of service you provided, you are disposable, regardless. It doesn't matter how many accounts you've opened, investments you've made happen at the last minute, or fees you've collected. You are disposable… Regardless. Your personal issues are not private. Your personnel file is not privileged information, rather, it is shared among those who are considered to be elite. It's not just about building you up to bring you down, it's the entertainment of your fall that they thrive on. In this atmosphere, it really isn't what you know, it's who you know. They report false information and force you to sign their write ups, and may really convince you that you've done something wrong...and they criticize you, and make you question your own competencies… Competencies that they once applauded you for having. When they're done with you, they're done with you. Don't look for a career here, don't even look for a stepping stone, they only like to see you fail.

Pros

A free gym? I don't really know to be completely honest. Sure they have onsite ammendities but the boys club is so cheap they make you pay excessively for mediocre food, car detailing and.... Well that's about all. If you don't mind that then I guess its a perk

Cons

Most definitely could go on and on. Years ago management cared for you. They recognized individual skill sets and would take it and developed you. It was easy to learn the business and so much more. Now its become the biggest joke amongst employers/employees you might ever experience. I would not ever reccomend this place to anyone. Employees are under paid and overworked. There is a horrible "metric system" of which you are measured on which takes away from the "client experience" that they believe they are actually achieving (Time will reveal the results of repeated horrifying decisions on all levels) Tons of micromanaging, tons of beaucracy, discrimination and quite frankly a complete disappointment to the workforce. They will build you up very quickly just to smash you back into the ground. There is zero "human" in any decisions that are made. Disposable employees only please.
