Pros

Great payer (compensates for what is coming once you join)

Cons

Extremely toxic work culture with a very clique management. Most leaders have been in the organization for years and have grown internally. They have their own groups and they keep scratching each other’s backs. They hire people from outside calling them as “Professional Hire” and you are soon told that you need to adjust to the capital one way of working. Which is nothing but shut up and agree to your boss. Don’t challenge or even ask for work. Most teams have basic work but some teams just have no work and if asked they keep hiding behind management changes and pipeline reviews. Most toxic form of management appraisals where a group of people predetermine who to fire. What follows in PIP or your manager quoting that you don’t show enough initiative (which can’t ever be quantified by facts). Once the target is on your back they will ensure that they make your life miserable and ultimately fire you.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
