Pros and Cons of Working at Alliance Bernstein

Vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The firm is known for their research which is by far the best in the industry.

Cons

The company is going through drastic changes not only due to the economy, but their poor market performance as well as changes with Senior Management. Ever since the new CEO came onboard the morale, benefits and all of the perks of working there have diminished. This has attributed to the thousands of workers that were laid off as well as those that left on their own accord.

Pros

Management is accessable, although sometimes not easily. Very intelligent people work there and are of the highest ethical standards.

Cons

Compensation for those not at the highest levels is poor. Profit sharing has been cut recently, further dividing the haves from the have nots.
