Pros

The company used to have more close training and a more "together" approach, but with the growth, it has lost some of its personality to consistently hit metrics and have a "big brother" attitude. I can see that works for some, but it doesn't work for everyone. The owner of the firm believes in young talent and used to be open to advice from his staff which was a bonus. They later changed their attitude, stopped listening as much and that spoiled things.

Cons

There's occasional disrespectful chats on the sidelines, I've seen managers saying some ridiculous chauvinistic things and it's all no big deal because it is a big like a big frat house. I've seen some people work their buts off and get rewarded and others also work their buts off and remain in the same position forever. They went from valuing good quality events to exclusively valuing the money makers, so the quality dropped.

Pros

Diverse place with people from all over the world, young and energetic, and absolutely fair if you work hard. If you learn about the asset class these events represent, the name of the company definitely stands out within the finance industry. This was a life changing experience for me, and it was absolutely key for my success in the private equity industry. I admire the founders, and up to date, stay in touch with them. Their Inc. 5000 award was well deserved!

Cons

Could spend a little more time training their sales associates, that would definitely boost sales, and therefore bonuses for everyone.

Pros

Latin Markets was the first internship during college and I worked with them for 10 months. - Working environment is supporting to staff. People are nice, very friendly and come from diverse backgrounds all over the world. I felt like people at Latin Markets are my second family. It was fun to work there. I loved to work with them and contribute to the company. The manager was readily available for questions or concerns. I would work there again given the chance. - There were so many opportunities to gain new experience and skills in business field, working at Latin Markets. For 10 months, I had experienced a lot of valuable things; more than I would have ever imagined. I attended the conference such as Investors forum and CPI, which was held by Latin Markets. I had chances to meet and talk to financial professionals and experienced something that can't be bought with money. Also, you can expand your professional network. - Coworkers shared their sales goals and made a great effort to accomplish the company’s goal. When I was at Latin Markets, everyone worked only half day in the third quarter because we reached the second quarter’s goal. It was great to work by noon in the summer time. It motivated employees to work more efficiently.

Cons

Most people at Latin Markets are working very hard and they are passionate. Also, it's a fast growing company. So, you need a strong work ethics.
