Pros

Advisor Bonus can compensate for base salary. Company Bonus is low.

Cons

Constant re-organization of company policies result in a disorganized [and confusing] work environment. Poor training but access to lots of information (i.e., can "train yourself"). Organizational structure results in situations where "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" resulting in valuable time wasted. Penny wise, pound foolish. Annual Salary increases do not match cost of inflation. Employee morale very very low due in part to lack of respect provided by management. Employee reviews do not seem to be related to quality of work, rather reviews tend to be subjective.

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
