Used to be great, now so-so

Senior vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable results, although lower profit margins than competitors Flexibility to work remotely or set flex hours Decent benefits, although a bit on the pricey side One of the last companies around with both a 401K and Pension Plan

Cons

Limited career paths Constant turnover at senior management (C-suite) positions Very political, too many competing interests, and no backbone from senior management to solve Struggle to create perception of value for services, give everything away for free

Positive overall, not a true meritocracy but they try

Vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

We are truly industry leaders in human capital and thought leadership. The willingness to commit resource is truly commendable and keeps us at the forefront.

Cons

It is a safe place to work allowing which may be nice, but it breeds complacency and an environment where some who excel and are risk takers leave for better recognition.

Business Outlook

Pros

Challenging responsibilities, international exposure, sexy financial services, super smart people in the broking and GC Analytics operations. New CEO with good ideas. The past 3 years were hard but Peter keep delivering results and strong leadership. Great vibe!

Cons

Compensation could be better. Perception of "big" difference between the compensation of the broking roles vs other functions
