Pros

401k. That's it. Sometimes they will buy us lunch but only after we've collected millions of dollars, individually. Then they will buy us a pizza pie... maybe twice a year. Woo. Rewards.

Cons

Everything. No one has professionalism in this company.. They all act as if everything is a joke. They won't take you seriously. They will pay you nothing and make you work endlessly. They do not let you roll over vacation days. But if you use them they get mad. Hypocritical. The salaries suck. It is almost better if I worked in a retail store full-time. Raises are >1%. Bonuses are a joke. This company always breaks their budget. Brings in millions of dollars a year. They make so much. It's no wonder they are worth $3 billion. Because they pay their employees nothing. They are extremely greedy. They won't even get new printers, they are that cheap. They won't even allow employees to work from home. It's freaking 2016. It's the 21st century. Working from home has become the norm. They do not allow overtime. The managers make all the staff do the training. Their training classes are very impersonal. They can't come up with a proper training technique. It's no wonder everyone quits. Oh... and if you've worked here for years.. doesn't matter. They will promote that new guy because he's a butt kisser. This company is pure cheap, greedy, and all about politics.

Pros

Great company with excellent benefits. Over the last 5 years Wintrust has provided many training and development opportunities. The departments do a lot of engagement functions with lunches and events. The environment is one of work hard and play hard. Lots of nice little perks and good benefits.

Cons

Continuing to grow aggressively so roles change with new functions being added.

Pros

Very Flexible with people who perform. Benefits are great outside of pay. 80% of the healthcare premiums are covered.

Cons

Pay is far behind averages. Leadership doesn't have much of a say in anything, if at all anymore. Wintrust (Parent company) has become far too involved) and there aren't many positive comments coming from it.
