Pros

Great opportunity to make an impact, they give you a lot of responsibility and it's really sink or swim. For the right persion this is great.

Cons

Not fair in terms of career progression. Double standards and politicals play too large a role. It can be too competitive at times as well.

Pros

Very smart people, by and large. Nice working environment. Tries to allow flexibility for life/work, not necessarily full balance. Compensation pretty generous, especially for Richmond market.

Cons

The company is a creation of consultants and it shows in the culture. Process rules all. And there is a great emphasis of presenting power point decks, rather than using complete sentences. Direct managers can make or break your career progression and they can be a mixed lot. They use the Jack Welch-inspired forced curve for employee evaluation.

Pros

-Pay and benefits are good and probably on par or above similar organizations -Smart staff. Co-workers are very intelligent, hard-working people -Company is doing relatively well in a tough environment

Cons

-Sr. Executives and Management leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to people mgmt -Compliance's support of the organization is driven by organizational changes, no fore-thought put into how Compliance should be used to support a growing, geographically diverse organization -HR is becoming more vague and secretive regarding pay and benefits.
