Cons

Culture isn't that great if you aren't into day drinking often.

Cons

No career track for positions in support groups

Cons

None that I can think of; just was not good fit for me. I am very dynamic and need to be involved as a team member.

Cons

Salary is on the low end of the market

Cons

I would like to see mgmt share more information about company, maybe quarterly updates about where company is as far as NI, AUM, etc.

Cons

1. Compensation is a joke: if you are an entry level employee, you'll get paid the same across departments, whether you work an intense 80-hour week, or a 9-to-5. Management feels little, if any, responsibility or pressure to compete in the marketplace or recognize employees' performance. Incentive compensation, raises, and promotions are of little concern.

2. Forget about having much of a life if you work in an intensive department. Late nights and weekends may be a regular occurrence.

3. No training whatsoever. You show up and begin working. Great for making mistakes and learning from them, but how do you anticipate the things you don't know that are unique to the company's processes?

Cons

Funny Story...My manager denied by bonus after declaring it would be paid to me. Hope it doesn’t happen to you.

She did that out of retaliation b/c I left the firm several weeks after bonuses were declared…well…guess what…it’s a free country and I was the only CPA at the staff level, paid a staff salary—despite peers with less experience who were promoted above me.

No…I was not “incompetent or lazy” – I actually had a good review. This, despite a hostile Senior Accountant who created a adverse work environment and accused me of "not knowing how to put in Journal Entries."

You might be thinking I’m some “crazy person ranting,” but this is the first review I’ve ever written for anything. I probably should have gone to an attorney but I could care less, since I make over 50% more after switching jobs…yeah…newsflash…paying market rate is a fair reason to switch firms. Anyways, there are good people there, you can learn a lot about Real Estate Investments—but I think you should take a public firm environment over this if you have the chance.

Cons

It's hard to think of any major cons -- maybe they could communicate more about how the company is doing throughout the year -- also, it is a flat organization so it can be a little hard to figure out how to advance your career

Cons

There are cliques, there is no formal training and your bonuses and goals are very clear.

Cons

Your work load is completely up to luck-of-the-draw based on what fund you are placed on (Investor Accounting), however compensation is the same across the board.
