Pros

I was on the fence to join this company due to some of these reviews but I'm now glad that I made the switch to First Empire. I've developed some great working relationships and growth opportunities are everywhere. If you have a strong sales background I recommend this firm for an exciting career. Big money to be made. Work-life balance is great. 16 either early close or fully closed holidays.

Cons

Benefits aren't terrible but could be better. Reporting structure has changed since the company has become an employee owned firm. Less autonomy for managers. A little micromanaging at times. Vacation time not great.

Pros

When I was there they paid you a salary for the first 2 years as you ramped up and built your client base. You can go to commission before that if you are bringing in more money. Get all the holidays the bond markets get. Have a team that you can go to for the analytics and help you present it as a team.

Cons

No real autonomy here, feel like you are being watched a lot of the time. Treat you like you are in high school part of the time. No room to grow. Wanted a little bit more of a work/life balance.
