Pros

AST Defeasance is a fast-growing, entrepreneurial firm where you truly get exposure to high-level commercial real estate transactions and sophisticated financial products. You’re encouraged to take ownership of your work, and strong performance is recognized and rewarded. The culture is collaborative and merit-based — if you work hard and add value, you will have opportunities to grow quickly. You also gain real market knowledge around defeasance, yield maintenance, and interest rate hedging that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Cons

The environment is fast-moving and performance-driven, which may not be ideal for someone seeking a slow or highly structured corporate setting.

Pros

The work environment is second to none; top notch financial team that knows everything about everything and is still able to be laid back and talk about sports and movies while multitasking. By far the best place I've worked in 20 years.

Cons

If you're looking for a slow-paced job, this isn't for you. It's a mile-a-minute office with new things popping up all the time.

Pros

Structured training program with sales training. Productive fun work environment with very supportive staff. Great field with incredibly lucrative potential for every employee. A sales job with a solid starting salary plus commission while learning a valuable niche field is hard to come by.

Cons

Close to fattening fast food restaurants.
