Eh... Could always be worse

Mutual fund accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits: Health, Dental, & Vision plans. Pre tax health flex spending, metrocard, & child care deductions. Full 401K match up to 6% Managers are good with work/life balance (at least in my group). Not too much work to be done. Very simple jobs. Mostly friendly coworkers & good atmosphere.

Cons

Advances are almost impossible because the managers are very "clicky" & if you aren't part of the "click", you do not get noticed - no matter the job you do. Very low salary in relation to other companies. Very low increase in pay. (0% in 2009, 2$ in 2010 on average). The work can be very boring with long days...

Doesn't pay enough to live.

Business Outlook

Pros

Management is friendly, supportive, and respectful. Great benefits. Most people are friendly and willing to help. Teamwork is a positive. Thats about it.

Cons

The job doesn't pay enough for someone with a college degree that graduated with honors. The pay is a disincentive to work hard. Also there isn't enough work to keep you busy anyway.

Once a good company, but no longer

Project manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Was a good company to work for prior to the Mellon merger. Good benefits Nice people

Cons

You are expected to be available 24/7, with constant overtime due to poor project planning and ridiculous deadlines. Not a place to work if you plan on having a personal life. Besides which, there are never ending layoffs with the overall goal of closing down the NY and Boston locations. Good opportunities if you'd like to move to India.
