Pros
- Friendly colleagues. - The company believes in building analytical skills. - Some economist do care about investing in analysts and senior analysts.
Cons
- Salary isn't competitive and skills learned at Econ One are valued at other companies willing to pay much more for similar work. - Vacation is limited. - Remote work is limited, unless you have a rapport with upper management. - Limited opportunity for advancement, unless you are willing to stay at the company for a decade. - Some members of the staff are there because they are friend/family connections and do minimal work. - Overall, Econ One needs to make changes to compete to attract top talent. Give analysts laptops, offer better vacation benefits, and be honest about advancement opportunities.
