Pros

Some people who work there are nice.

Cons

They seem to be stuck in the 1990s and don't feel you should question authority or bring new ideas. Owner changes his mind on the flip of a coin and doesn't care about merit, it's all about who compliments him the most. Very toxic, poor comp and benefits.

You were the same person who posted as a candidate who declined our offer last week... you can't be both. Here is the previous response we posted: We have grown 40% YOY since I started the company. We are certainly not stuck in anything let alone the 90's. Our success has everything to do with our great people. Sometimes they have good days and sometimes they have bad days, but regardless, they get back up, shake it off and get back to working on the vision I have laid the foundation for just over 10 years ago. Since you interviewed, we have opened 4 new offices - further showing the resilience of our team and the fact that more people buy into our values and vision than not. Sure, we may have a toxic employee or toxic candidate from time to time, but we do our best to eliminate them, quickly. While you are busy posting anonymously about your feelings not taking ownership or accountability, know we'll be back here making a difference and doing our best to help people live their best financial lives. All the best to you.

Pros

Fast paced with an accountability to all mindset. For someone who’s focused on the outcome, Trajan can be a great place that anyone in any role can make a significant impact. Hard work and results are recognized and rewarded. Upper management is open to new ideas and gives autonomy to execute.

Cons

Not a great fit for someone who’s just looking to float under the radar.

Pros

The pay and benefits seemed attractive at first, with a decent salary and company-paid medical coverage. It quickly became clear that this was just a lure to trap employees into a nightmare.

Cons

Executive leadership is obsessed with growth and revenue, but the staff beneath them bear the full weight of their ambition. Incoming accounts and clients pile on an impossible workload, and asking for help only makes things worse. Requests for support are ignored, deadlines are tightened, and employees are forced to work even longer hours. Morale plummets as frustration and exhaustion take over. The environment is toxic beyond measure. Harassment, inappropriate behavior, blatant favoritism, and constant gaslighting are rampant. Employees are exploited and abused for simply trying to meet leadership’s unreasonable expectations. Hard work is met with zero acknowledgment or appreciation. This place is a true corporate nightmare, and anyone aware of what goes on here would steer far away.
