About to Resign After Only 8 months of Service. "Buyer's Remorse" - werkgeversreview Category Analyst bij Topco Associates

Supportive team environment. Clear career expansion.

Does not provide full remote positions.

Good PTO, great coworkers (excluding management), hybrid work schedule

This place is a classic example, literally the epitome, of HR is there not for YOU but to protect the company plain and simple. You are nothing to upper management in Chicago and even lower than that to HR. Highly politicized office atmosphere, you must “play the game” to fit in here. Jealousy runs rampant and that 100% includes middle management of their team. Awful structure with no clear picture of how to climb the ladder unless you are a friend or family member of management, or at the very least, a man. This is a male dominated industry and while there are successful women that work here, they seem to have a harder time climbing up than their male counterparts. Nepotism is also a huge factor here. God forbid your middle management leader convince Topco to hire their personal friends, if so you will never ever succeed above them regardless of how much time and effort you put into your job. Beware of personal events such as a family death, they are not the most supportive company through those things. Unless of course you are a manager.
