Pros
Great growth potential and new aggressive senior management. Lots of change underway that should drive improved revenue growth. Good comp, decent benefits, profitable with solid loyal clients. One of the few shining stars for financial services in the East Bay. Right next to BART, covered parking lot. Annual winter holiday party is a highlight for employees "+1"; annual summer party is a great family friendly event.
Kontras
Change is hard. Change is disruptive. Some of the longer term employees--"the old guard"--are very resistent to the changes. Collaboration can be challenging due to this resistance. Downtown Concord location is in early stages of revival, so lunch options are limited and many storefronts are vacant. Career growth is limited outside of ops and IT. Rewards are more focused on individual contribution than on team efforts.
