Vantaggi
I have been at gpac for 6 years, joined right out of college so I know no other professional setting and am glad that I found gpac when I did: Compensation: I started at gpac after graduating a 2.8GPA college grad. So there is no reason based on my college performance that someone like myself should be in the position I am in of being financially free. Gpac' s compensation structure allows you to truly reap the benefits of the work you put in and truly can be something that is life changing. Again, a 2.8 GPA college grad was able to pay off my significant others PhD degree before she even graduated, pay off 2 cars, purchase a house, and allow the feeling of financial freedom. Flexibility: Even starting back in 2017 when gpac was more of an "office" setting, the flexibility was still present. Even more-so now with our remote work, the flexibility is there. Taking off a day here and there to be with family, take a family trip to hawaii, coaching baseball at the University I played, the examples are plenty. One misconception of this flexibility is that it is something that is "guaranteed" and not "earned". Flexibility at gpac is 100% an earned benefit but something that once you achieve, is highly unrivaled. Team atmosphere: I still work in gpac's Sioux Falls office which I love. The people in the office are fun to be around and makes coming to work enjoyable. Obviously enough to not work from home even though that is available. The team I am on also is very supportive, the coaches that I have had in my career are people that have seen me at the highest of high's and lowest of low's and they were always very supportive towards what they knew I wanted to accomplish at gpac.
Svantaggi
Stress. This is a job where you bet on yourself and sometimes that can involve long hours/weekends and high stress. But I'm not sure of another high paying job that doesn't come with the stress of performing.
