Pros

Long Lunch Hours Early Fridays Sometimes Social events and dinners with other companies

Cons

Racism Sexism Harassment Favoritism Discrimination Inappropriate behavior toward female and male employees from high-level executive officers. Uncomfortable work environment where bosses are either extremely flirtatious or discussing inappropriate stories with their employees that no one wants to hear. It is my opinion, based on first-hand experience and witnessing what other fellow employees were subjected to, that Burns & Wilcox Brokerage (part of H.W. Kaufman Financial Group/Burns & Wilcox) was openly noncompliant with EEOC laws and regulations. The workplace was filled with racism, sexism, and harassment toward women and men. When employees made reports/complaints to HR about this discrimination and harassment in the workplace, they were met with open hostility and retaliation from management.

Pros

The people make the biggest difference here. Training and onboarding are both well-organized and structured. Everyone is respectful and kind, which creates a great work environment. There are also plenty of events, perks like free snacks and drinks, and a wide range of resources, from training support to strong benefit offerings!

Cons

The 4-day in-office schedule might not suit everyone, especially those looking for more flexibility. That said, the in-person collaboration is valuable and healthy, I’d just appreciate occasional flexibility such as a 3-day in-office option when needed.

Pros

Interview process was great, everyone was friendly, transparent and professional. Onboarding process was easy and the leadership team made time to meet with all the new hires (great personal touch). The work is fulfilling and the culture is supportive and challenging.

Cons

I could have used a suite number for the onsite interview.
