Pros
1. Great entry level job into tech/finance world. You don't need any experience to work there and you get to learn a lot about the RIA world that can help you land a real job at a private firm. 2. If you’re a guy you could probably get away with anything here, just be down to join the boy club. 3. Benefits are pretty nice. 4. There are two Starbucks in the building. The building itself is pretty cool, you can go up to the observation deck and have lunch while looking out over the city skyline. 5. Honestly I met some really great people working here, and for a while I did love the culture, until I took off my rose colored glasses.
Cons
1. Terrible management- constantly restructuring every 6 months or so. Management is also not promoted on their ability to lead, most of them have zero experience and Tamarac does nothing to get them up to speed. They should really offer to send management to some sort of training on how to manage people. 2. No work life balance - be prepared for 60+ hour weeks on the regular 3. Pay is WELL below industry standard 4. No real opportunities for internal promotions unless you are part of the boy club. 5. It's like working in a frat with a bunch of young frat guys, and then some older frat guys trying to relieve their youth. That's what it's like working there. Get used to sexist jokes if you are a female. Nothing like hearing about what celebrity your coworkers want to sleep with while you try to heat up your food in the break room. 6. When you do get sexually harassed do not expect them to fire the person behind it.
