      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Coffee bar, nice people, and nice office.

      Cons

      GLG exploits the potential of recent grads who will work for low pay and a seemingly high amount of responsibility. Many managers are in their first job out of college. High turn over with associates (they'll tell you they are at the same rate as everyone else). Bonuses are extremely subjective (don't hold your breath).

Numbers or GTFO. - The lied regarding bonus compensation. - Team structure changed every year for years. - Turnover is amazingly high, and management doesn't seem to care. People just mysteriously disappear. - Everyone is degraded against top performers. - Management doesn't like their customers much on a personal level. - Overwhelmingly liberal with no tolerance for people of differing opinions.
