Pros
Cafeteria people can be pretty cool (except they do not wear gloves when serving the food.) Rooftop parties are fun (usually cliquey groups and attempts to distract you from the awfulness of the company; really, the parties are brainwashing events.) Company does give back to the community, which is the company's attempt at hiding their deceptive practices. You will meet some cool people, and you will want to hold these people close, as you may be needing their help finding your next career.
Cons
Where to begin? Victor is a huge liar and con artist, as are most of the executives and loan officers, so I will do my best to summarize this: 1. Company turnover rate is over 50% (A number like this are usually those of a pyramid scheme.) 2. Harassment occurs religiously. You will be harassed and shamed for smiling, doing well, being innovative and entrepreneurial, being better than the favorites in the company, etc. 3. Your monthly bonus will be changed at the very last minute. They will change your bonus based on how they feel that day. If they wake up in a bad mood, kiss goodbye your large bonus. It will become a very small bonus all because someone didn't take his/her happy pill. 4. Job security here is a joke. Every day, Victor or some other executive/director will come to you randomly and tell you that you are replaceable and mean nothing to the company. Your position, to them, is non-existent. From the moment you are hired, Victor wants to fire you. The company hires only to maintain a good public reputation. They suck at it, because of their turnover rate. 5. Many of the reviews here are fake. How can it be that in April 2018, the rating was 3.5, then in August/early September it was 2.6, and now it is 4.2? Yeah, so many fake reviews. If you removed all of the fake reviews, the rating would easily be 2.6 (maybe lower.) This company is sinking and Victor and the executives know it. 6. People in this company are slaves to Victor, an emotionally insecure dictator who has ruined more lives than has Clinton, the Bush Family, and the Trump family. I know people who have trouble finding a job now because Victor and his cronies launch smear campaigns to ruin former employees reputations. 7. Benefits and PTO SUCK! 6 Holidays, $250+ benefits for a single person, and 2 weeks of PTO, which you will be harassed if you take off a day (I think they are scared and know people will take off a day to interview for a different job.) 8. Technologies are out-of-date. This company was created literally just to compete with others. Victor had no vision. His previous company failed, and now, everyone is being harassed for it failing, even the ones who weren't even alive at the time. Regardless of age, you better know how to use a technology no one knows how to use. 9. Horrible pay. I am convinced Victor got his funding for GR from the Chicago mafia. 10. Glassdoor reviews are managed (but you could probably tell that from my previous comments.) 11. Your family and friends will be harassed by management. They think they are entitled to doing whatever they care to your family and friends. 12. This is a sad PR-stunt of a company. Guaranteed Rate Field? More like Guaranteed Hate Field. 13. Right next to the train is inconvenient. If I am trying to close a deal, I obviously do not want to hear a train in the background. Distracts the customer and you have to yell at them. 14. Parking is not good.
