Vantaggi
Really smart people at the company to learn from. Get introduced to fixed income in the industry and the expertise pimco has in managing it. The compensation is decent but it is used as a tool to distract from the horrid culture you’re subjected to.
Svantaggi
Everything else. Incredibly cold and toxic work culture. No one will say hi to you or help you when you go through onboarding. Onboarding doesn’t exist, you just watch a series of pre-recorded videos on strategies, most of which aren’t applicable in your day to day responsibilities as a sales associate. You are reduced to the number of calls you can put up in a day, they do not care about anything else that you offer. Management needs to be flushed out, there are managers who will willingly jeopardize your ability to be promoted. There needs to be proper sales training and an inclusive environment where it’s not how much you can outsmart someone with bond math but rather create meaningful relationships in the industry. Their investment philosophy doesn’t align with their actual investment approach (long term philosophy, tactical approach).
