Pros

They had a cool kickball tournament.

Cons

In the Kansas City mutual fund group, not only will you be kept from progressing, but you will take the blame for management's errors if you aren't high up on their ladder or a 'favorite.' The headquarters in Boston are completely clueless as to how things are run in the KC location and if they saw how backwards and incredibly ignorant their management staff was, they'd be wise to shut down the entire operation. Employee turnover was weekly...which is pathetic.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
