Pros

Very flexible work/life balance. For Nashville employees, the job functions are unique to the area and definitely look good on a resume. It’s interesting work that makes you feel meaningful in the industry. Great place for a college kid to put some stuff on their resume. Generally very nice people around the office.

Cons

Pay below industry standard. The age old, gotta kiss up to move up applies significantly here. There is a large gap and disconnect between employees and management. Morale is not the greatest across the board, from Stamford to New York to Weehawken to even Nashville. There was a concentrated effort to keep the morale in Nashville high for a few years, which gave way to typical corporate disconnect from above. Sitting in a town hall and listening to a senior manager brag about his juiced up car was a disgrace. There is a lot of turnover, from very senior management down to entry level employees.

Pros

takes quite a bit to fire people, you can slack and do nothing and it will take a few years to fire you

Cons

over 50% of Executive Directors don't have more than 1 direct report, but the requirement to be an Executive Director is to have people report to you, people who are strong individual contributors are not rewarded when they work more than some EDs who got the title as a stroke of luck since they treat people differently.
