Pros
- Co-workers are young, friendly and intelligent - Work independently without being distracted - Opportunity to advance 1-2 steps up if you are good at the job - Office location is convenient - Company culture is improving but has some way to go still
Cons
- Analyst pay below market rate for this type of work - Holiday days recently increased but still slightly below other companies - No long-term career prospects at this company unless your manager happens to be leaving the company - Low probability of getting commission on reports for most analysts -Time allotted for report writing is very short - many analysts do regular unpaid overtime to meet deadlines - Senior management is needlessly authoritarian with regard to start times, working hours (every minute matters here), noise level in office - Company owner doesn't interact or communicate with employees apart from the most senior managers. No sense of pride or purpose in being part of the company - No external training opportunities. Teach yourself or learn from colleagues on rare occasions - Glassdoor site is blocked at work - typifies company approach to criticism
