Pros

It was a pleasure working with knowledgable people within UTS and other areas within ASU.

Cons

Where do i start ? 1. VERY poor line level and upper level management. 2. Managers that have NO communication or people skills. 3. Managers that micromanage. 4. Managers that got promoted into management because they were the only people that wanted to accept a promotion. 5. Cronyism throughout all of financial services in that it is your typical governmental organization so managers are managers just because they have been there 15+ years not because they are good managers. 6. Nepotism in Financial Services with mothers, daughters, son-in-laws, etc, all working within the same organization. 7. A revolving door attitude amoung managers in that if someone leaves another warm body came be found to replace that person. 8. No empowerment from management to let even experienced employees manage projects. This is a classic micromanagement practice. 9. Mangers that hire external candidates that are their friends whether or not that person is competent or not. 10. IN-THE-KNOW people that are able to move laterally within the organization into UNposted internally open job positions. 11. An old school VERY female dominated management structure that has been in place for many years and doesn't seem open to new ideas or very tolerant of young males trying to climb the management ladder.

Pros

Good benefits, positive student campus life, nice campus, lots of social activities for students, that's all the nice things I can say about ASU.

Cons

Low pay, micromanagement, anti-male sentiment from mostly female staff on campus, accountability to taxpayers taken to an irrational extreme.
