Pros

Calm, professional work environment. Great benefits. Strong investment team. Significant emphasis on the well being of each employee. Modern and comfortable campus work environments.

Cons

Very limited visibility to financial information since CG is a private company. In the absence of outside scrutiny, there were many inefficiencies. Network of long-time employees was often in a group-think mindset, which seemed to limit the company from being even better than it was. The investment professionals were great and the best in their field. However, employees in other departments were no better or worse than their peers at other companies.

Pros

- Compared to many other wholesaling companies from where many associates come from, this is the easiest to 1) sell our products 2) not as draconian on activity levels compared to other wholesaling firms - Pay is extremely competitive and they have many levels of wholesaling to move up the ladder from Intern>Slate>IWG>IWS>RWMC (this position)>DWMC>WMC

Cons

- As with all wholesaling roles, it can feel mundane day by day to be constantly calling/emailing to schedule meetings - Capital Group has som 9,300 employees, so almost inherently bureaucracy and having to play political games for management seeps in. Which feels like a side item on our SOPs to appease managers.
