Our Culture

Ask Makovsky & Company staffers what they enjoy most about the culture of the firm and a variety of enthusiastic answers come back.

A group vice president with nine years at Makovsky points to the overall spirit of collaboration.  "I liken it to some of the great Yankee teams - it's a collection of stars who play with one ego," he says.

Another group VP, one of several employees who have returned to the firm, notes regular acknowledgement of hard work by the company's executive team.  A senior vice president lauds the intelligence and sense of humor of her co-workers and appreciates the candor and open-door policy of the firm.

In short, our culture is built on a foundation of treating employees as well as it does its clients – no small task, given that building client loyalty is the centerpiece of the Makovsky philosophy.  "The way I put it in our credo is, 'We are all each other's client,'" says president Ken Makovsky.  "Employee enthusiasm breeds client enthusiasm."
