0 Exit oppportunities. Poor people managers. They are elevated simply for their sales performance, and they rely on p2p training. Problem is: managers who volunteer to lead trainings are usually the worse. Boring and tedious tasks: Linkedin and Cold Calling. If you hope to learn anything about an industry, do not work here. Most of the VPs are there just for tenure, but they have no idea what they are doing. Industry growth is still good, so they keep their seats for now. Turnover very high given poor managers. No challenges but high pressure on results, which often are given by external factors.

Chips on shoulders - Young associates, while extremely smart seem to have high opinions of themselves and expect to be "gifted" promotion and mentorship from the company. The most successful associates and managers have the smart + humble combo, and bust their butts to find mentors inside and outside of the business. As an outgoing manager who worked hard for what (s)he got, it was extremely frustrating when new associates expected promotions or mentorship simply to be handed to them. Growing Pains - While title changes and restructuring are part of any company’s evolution, the short term pain is always frustrating. If you’re able to see the bigger picture and actually listen what management is saying to you, it will pan out.
