Pros

good people, good work environment

Cons

No room for growth or new jobs

Pros

Since it's a smaller firm, there is not a lot of 'red tape' to contend with when needing to involve other people or departments when trying to get the job done. The entire firm is very customer focused, which is great to see. A tightly knit group with a long average tenure makes for a solid foundation. Management places an extremely high priority on integrity. They will welcome auditing by independent firms and the FTC, they do everything possible to maintain compliance.

Cons

That same tightly knit group makes new comers feel like outsiders. After a few years one can still feel like an 'outsider' and unwelcome. Be prepared to feel like a 'second-class citizen' if you aren't in Sales or you aren't an Analyst. Management has some old paradigms such as: a.) The Sales Staff walks on water b.) If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The title of Director is thrown around too loosely to the point where it becomes almost meaningless. Growth opportunities are limited given the small size of the firm.

Pros

Nice People, Upper management was willing to facilitate my learning and understanding of the industry, operations staff I was working with were fantastic

Cons

The overall atmosphere could be a little happier
