Pros

Comp is good. It's a consensus organization with a huge weight put on who you know, but the people are all very helpful and open to questions or those seeking advice. There is good work-life balance.

Cons

There is little in the way of career support but the environment does encourage "self-starters" to move up within the organization. The lack of employee ownership options for many below the Managing Director level is a severe limitation.

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
