Vantaggi

Health Care, Work Life Balance. That's it.

Svantaggi

This company may have been good 15 years ago, but it hasn't moved an inch since. This is where you go to kill your career. You will be doing the same work in year 10 as you were in year 1. Management is completely inept and spends more time surfing the internet than doing work. There is zero transparency and your status in the company is based on if you're somehow connected to the CEO and nothing else. Pay is not competitive at all. Despite being good, health benefits do not make up for cheap compensation. Company is also cheap in technology (outsourced/bad results), office supplies (all soft drinks, real coffee etc is gone), and data services (unethical practice). All of these have led to a ghost town of an office in every department which is filled once in a while by cheap inexperienced college kids who end up leaving for the same reasons within two years.

Thank you for your review of Tradition's Brokerage side. It is unfortunate that you are not having a positive experience here. I would suggest you immediately reach out to your Manager to discuss your career trajectory and path. There are career opportunities for top performers who strive to do more. If you have concerns about your managers, we suggest that you reach out to HR to discuss immediately. Our Health Benefits are an important part of the overall compensation of our employees. You may make more money doing the same thing somewhere else, but in all likelihood, your benefits will not be as good. There is often a trade-off with these things. If you feel your compensation is not satisfactory, I recommend again immediately speaking with your manager to discuss your performance and why that is deserving of more competitive compensation. I suggest outlining in detail all of your contributions and successes in a formal way and being proactive about what you feel is more deserved. Regarding our frugality around office supplies, soft drinks and coffee, it is important to look at why these things might have been scaled back. They seem minor, and are a nice perk, but they are incredibly expensive for a company of our size, not to mention the abuse of these perks which exponentially increases the cost. When looking for necessary cost cutting opportunities, as all companies must do to succeed, we prefer to look at some of the non-essentials, rather than headcount. When faced with cutting free soda, versus terminating someone's job, the soda will lose every time here. We hope you can appreciate that we are most interested in ensuring the longevity of our employees first. Anything we can do as an added benefit after that, I can assure you we will do our best. Unsure why you feel the office is a ghost town? When there is not a pandemic, the majority of seats in our office are taken. We have some extra space for growth but that represents roughly 5-10% of the overall seating. It could be perceived as a ghost town right now due to the pandemic and the fact that we are only allowed by the State to have 50% of our staff in the office. If you have specific ideas on how the business can operate more professionally and successfully, I suggest you bring those to your superiors or HR for discussion. Thank you.
