Pros

Depends on the day and the team you work with. Any positive benefit or feature of the company is overshadowed by the actual day to day experience of their own rogue, seedy culture despite the posted "appearance values" of the organization.

Cons

Tenured management thrive on intimidation, favoritism/bias, retaliation, and prevent deserving and talented individuals from developing or advancing. There are employees that are remarkable and have been there for years in holding patterns while others will continue to get moved through the ranks being deemed a better 'culture fit' which essentially means they were better at smiling and nodding than any actual skill or capabilities. This trickles down to members by way of disorganization, incompetence, poor training/resolution.

The culture here is something truly special—built on collaboration, respect, and a shared purpose that makes every day meaningful. When I look back on my time at Firstmark, it’s filled with nothing but great memories of teamwork, community impact, and a sense of belonging that is rare to find in any organization. For anyone who has the chance to work here, you’re stepping into something extraordinary. It’s not just a job—it’s a place where careers and connections flourish.

Pros

Medical Plan is only good thing this company got going

Cons

People are stuck in their way and do not want to try new things. Also they preach their core values and they do not exercise them. Leadership will blame you and throw you under the bus at anytime . I will not trust them. Imagine this, if they can't handle employees properly what makes you think they can handle your money?
