Pros

-Work alongside many recent college graduates -Free lunch about once a week -Good pay for such menial and brainless tasks

Cons

-Brutally boring work. (there are two divisions of the company: 1) Data Integrity- consisting of multi-month long scanning trips and basic data entry 2) Revenue Recovery- consisting of haphazard searches for documents through land data systems to solve a puzzle that you don't have all of the pieces to... also, this has now become a nearly non-existent part of the company) -Learning ceases after about a month of being employed here. -Zero transparency from upper management, which is seemingly simple in such a small company. -HR claims to pay for all training/certifications but become suspiciously hard to contact when an employee actually wants to go to a training seminar. -On the job training is minimal and ineffective. -Middle management has all been promoted based on length of tenure rather than merit, and receives zero training before or after the promotion. -It is currently March, and the "End of the Year" bonus that was promised to be delivered in Jan, then again in Feb, still has not been physically delivered. -A recent cost-saving switch in benefits providers has led to a loss of the fully funded HSA account for employees, but was replaced by a 401k match. However, management failed to mention the fact that this matching has a low percentage cap and also includes a 3 year vesting period. (see transparency comment above) -Projects are led and initiated without proper planning or resources in place, which inevitably sets them up for failure. -Micro management from the "higher-up" is stifling innovation and growth, including the refusal to even use Microsoft Office.

Pros

-EMX is a GREAT place to work! EquityMetrix offers the ability to quickly move up in your career and propel yourself within the energy industry. If you are a motivated self starter, this company is the place for you! -Company feels like family - lots of young employees with a caring and supportive management. -You have a ton of freedom at EMX - if you don't like the role you're in, talk to your manager about switching to a position that better fits your strengths. In two years, I moved from analyst, to business analyst, to marketing, to sales - and got to experience more in two years than most of our clients who had been working in the industry for 5+ years. -It's easy to stand out if you're willing to put in the work. The office empties out around 6pm. If you're willing to put in an extra 30min everyday and stay until 6:30-7, it makes a huge difference. -EMX has a much better benefit package and travel reimbursement policy than my old big 4 job had. -Breakfast and Free snacks!

Cons

A lot of the analysts who work here haven't had any real work experience other than college "internships" and don't understand what it means to actually have a real job - (and not just show up and hang out at a desk for 40 hrs a week). Very frustrating when you're staying late to finish a project on time and co-workers leave early, because its a Thursday and "they need to get ready to go out."
