Great company with wonderful people - Investment Analyst TAG Associates Employee Review

Friendly coworkers, laid-back experience in the office

Company website can be a little boring

They will hire anyone, standards are very lax. However they just started to do credit/background checks about a month ago.

Hours are much longer than agreed upon, you will work on the weekends and holidays resulting in a paycheck that is less than minimum wage. As a measure to maintain cost company retention is 2 to 3 years, after that employees are pushed out. No room for growth. Extreme micromanagement: No eating at your desk, and there is also an attendance-late list (grade school style). Managers always wants to know what you are doing at all times even when not at work. In fact you are constantly asked about your activities away from work....example-outside employment, business, political contributions...and the list goes on. Very hostile environment: Managers take on bully approach, in the level of control and influence over the members of the Tax Group. As a result, it is very loud (screaming & yelling). Medical Coverage deduction from pay check is extremely high, as well as co-pay. Compensation is low, negotiate before getting into company because raises and bonuses are very small. Managers also bad mouth employees after they leave the company.
