A good weigh station before moving on to a company that values its employees
Pros
Reasonable hours, good vacation time, quality research product (albeit with coverage shortcomings)
Cons
Senior leaders do not understand the business and consistently rely on consultants to make up for their glaring shortcomings. Consultants similarly do not understand the business. Failure to develop new products the market desires leaves sales with nothing new to sell. Value and prefer external people over internal. Never promote from within. Employees are therefore very unhappy. Many seeking to leave. Parent company values analysts and believes sales/relationship managers are interchangeable parts. Consistently set unattainable (double digit) growth goals (again, with no new products) that demoralize each team member. Cap earnings: If a sales person has a strong year, FitchSolutions will ramp up goal, take away client responsibilities and cut payouts to assure it does not pay this "offending" successful salesman "too much" again.
