Pros

People, boutique firm feel, clients and friendships

Cons

Pay inequity both in terms of gender, age and experience. Failure to keep up with competitive market pay for existing employees resulting in loss of talent and experience. Management plays favorites and creates strife. Emphasis on respectful workplace but failure to address bullies, harassment and problem advisors as revenue is put over people.

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
