C L King & Associates Reviews

Pros

Paid well Smart people Good hours

Cons

Could get boring at times

Pros

- It's a small team so you get to do a lot of different things - The working hours are good (i.e., decent work life balance)

Cons

- The salary is very low (to the point that full time staff have to ask family for help to pay their rent and food), and management clearly couldn't care less - The role in deals is very limited, so there is no real learning opportunity - The work environment is built on fear, which leads to mistakes and poor output - There is no career progression. The team will just keep hiring interns to do a lot of the legwork and pay them peanuts. All of the above has been raised, but nothing has changed.
