Amazing opportunities to grow, great people, strong and stable leadership, high performance culture and contributions are valued. This is one of the best companies I've ever worked for.

- 1.0Nov 6, 2023Find coordinatorFormer Employee, more than 1 yearBoston, MA
Pros
You can learn a lot about the industry and get a lot of experience. They offer a great insurance plan.
Cons
VPs/Managers have very poor management styles. Finance/accounting department is primarily male, 10 hour at least working day in office, not a lot of time off, and not a fun environment for females. The company never asks for your opinion and is not focused on career development. I was overworked, overstressed, and treated unfairly on multiple occasions. Low pay in comparison to hours worked.

No place is perfect but Summit gets all the important things right.
