Interesting portfolio companies and fast pace - Associate Guild Capital Employee Review

- Amazing track record - Great team and culture to get a lot direct exposure to senior leadership and founders - Develop a broad skill across operations and investing in the early-stage consumer space - Differentiated value proposition to founders when sourcing new deals

- Intentionally "under the radar", so a little more effort to educate founders on Guild's value-add and track record

The internal chairman’s office team is the only saving grace for this firm along with salary and benefits package

The Chairman thrives in chaos and constantly shifting priorities, and his management style can be very harsh. Expectations are often unclear, and even when you follow instructions exactly, you still end up being blamed if he doesn’t like the end result. There’s little accountability on his end, even when there’s a clear paper trail showing you did what was asked. Turnover in this role is extremely high, and onboarding is minimal, so you’re often left to figure things out on your own. Former employees have shared similar experiences, so just be aware of what you’re walking into.
