Pros
I like the people I worked with. Most started with a positive attitude and are smart and fun. I learned about the differences between the different types of investment firms, which was all new for me.
Kontras
I haven't had many jobs, so it was hard to compare Guidepoint or know if it's like every other company until I left. I've started working at another small company now and I can see the differences. It was a very sour place. We were treated like factory workers, even though we had people from good schools. The CEO walks around to see who was at their desks. We received emails before snowstorms and hurricanes telling us we had to come to the office no matter what. Like it was ok if we got hit by a car or something. By the time I left almost all of the people I knew when I started didn't work there anymore. And when I was there, everyone I knew was looking for a job. It was like being a senior in college again, with 3 classes having graduated in front of us and most students being freshmen, sophomores and juniors. And everyone still there looking for a job.
