Pros

Worked with some nice colleagues and clients. Despite all odds was able to make a difference to clients.

Cons

Cogent will absolutely burn you out while continually dangling a carrot of bonuses and promotions that never materialize. They expect you to work 60 hours a week to produce 35-40 hours a week of billable time, but do not give you the tools or support to complete the work. You have to develop those yourself all the while trying to figure out for what you have been paid. Very out of touch, controlling management /ownership that leads out of fear, intimidation, and retaliation - not to mention literally yelling at employees, vendors and clients while leaving his door open for everyone to hear. If you enjoy collaboration, transparency, support, a work-life balance, being awarded for and celebrating success - you do not need to work here.

Pros

Very rewarding job helping save companies and people's retirements and their futures. Company also pays well

Cons

You're going to have to be quite dynamic in this role as well as the project director role. You're hired to be a ceo and many people like to pretend they're a ceo but when push comes to shove, you have to actually affect the bottom line of our clients.

Pros

Rental car and business cards supplied

Cons

No salary, Employee is expected to pay and finance Cogent Analytics' daily operations by paying for gasoline and other travel expenses. You will be micromanaged every minute of every day, no time for lunch or even to prepare for your work day You are expected to prepare for your work day on your personal time Daily meetings, at least two or three meetings per day, mostly unproductive, just repeating the same things over and over again Upper management frequently puts people on the spot, general mistreatment and disrespect is widely tolerated Military owed and multiple employees are former military and expect military discipline A Southern-based company with blunt disrespect for LGBT employees Surprise meetings early in the day, before working hours, and meetings late in the evening, after working hours Disorganized training with high expectations for things not covered during the training period General disorganization, with some team members not pulling their own weight, and no accountability
