Glass Lewis

I worked as a Research Associate on the Governance Team. The management is very attentive, you get plenty of independence, and also a good level of support if you need help. The niche area of corporate governance is actually pretty interesting, and Glass Lewis's policies are very progressive. The training is thorough and you get constant feedback. The repetitive nature of the job allows for mastery of corporate governance guidelines. The main disadvantages of Glass Lewis employment is the pay of $17/hour at 37.5 hours a week and you have zero job stability. Also, you receive no other benefits. Outside of the pay, the work is very repetitive, and the requirements can be high to meet daily targets. I recommend this job for someone just out of college who may have parental and/or outside financial support. My advice to anyone taking this position is to continue to apply for permanent positions elsewhere as you will only receive two weeks notice when they are finished with you.
Pros
Remote, work culture, management, positive impact on corporate governance, learning about corporate governance
Cons
Pay is way below the level of work, seasonal - no job security, tasks are repetitive


The company is a corporate proxy voting firm. A typical day was spent reading through several companies SEC filling, usually the DEF-14A and the Annual Report, and applying GLC's proprietary voting standards to each company's ballot items. Each team worked rather closely with their direct supervisor and there was generally an amiable and pleasant atmosphere to the company. The training was very thorough and I enjoyed my time there very much. The research can get boring at times but each company is slightly different and that helps keep the job interesting. The most difficult part was simply the high volume of reports coupled with the need for accuracy. However, that also kept the job interesting.

The temp position at Glass, Lewis, & Co. is a good way to develop and hone your research, analytical, and writing skills.  You'll work with some bright, young individuals and the day-to-day will initially seem interesting.  However, as the season ramps up, the duties become quickly repetitive and management falters to provide adequate feedback on performance. 

Overall, was a positive experience. The compensation is seriously lacking, and performance tends to be measured on quantity rather than quality. 

This job is pretty demanding. They require A LOT! They need a lot of experience and skills but they don't want to pay you. They offer a measly $17 per hour and expect you to work like a six figure paid GM. 

They want maximum professionalism and the best of the best workers but they pay the same wages that McDonalds pays teenagers. They are belittling and don't value your worth so I quit. 

Hard pass this company.



Great for learning about corporate business operations and structure. The company is organized and knows what it is doing. All of the people working there were friendly and smart. It was a seasonal research job with the opportunity to stay at the company.

I worked during proxy season, which is very busy. They train you on how to write and summarize issues that may come up in proposals, but during season things get hectic very fast. I went from having an hour lunch to no lunch if I wanted to get my assigned work done and not stay past 5pm. On the other hand, I learned a lot about vastly different subjects, and not necessarily bored.

Canadian owned company whose bread and butter is proxy voting. High pressure to generate shareholder reports. Not a hard job to learn but I didn't like the atmosphere. No one says good morning, 9 to 5.30 with a half hour for lunch. Silent open plan office. Wasn't a pleasant environment. 

The workload is very seasonal, which means during a few weeks/months, you'll be very stressed and probably behind schedule. Pass that, and it'd get slower, you'd be rotated to other teams, who would probably in their own rush, to help. 
Basic amenities, small break room, some coffee/tea...
33rd floor -> fantastic view of the city, may vary on where you seat.

I loved working at GL because the staff was amazing, I worked remotely and I learned a lot while working there. However it is a large workload every day which can be stressful, and the pay wasn’t great for the volume of work expected and being a recent college grad.
