      Status Quo Here We Go

      Pros

      Generous PTO and aligned with bank holidays! Flexible work schedule and competitive comp package.

      Cons

      Corporate resource groups seem to be stuck on a hamster wheel. Joining the org felt like I went back in time 20 years. They are slow to move and break free from status quo. Operations is paper heavy and heavy on staff. No electronic trading and broker assisted trades will cost you around $75 a pop. IT leadership is politically motivated, slow to move, lack leadership skills and don't work well as a team. Have over 30 managers for a staff of 120 to support a 2400 users....a lot if overhead! Spend a lot of time effort and money to make the Forbes best places to work list....makes you wonder how much gets paid out to be on the list.

      Pros

      Decent work life balance. I met some really great people.

      Cons

      Low pay, lots of secret deals with management and the people they like, complete and total disrespect of support staff, good ol' boys club, many of the managers are unemployable at other firms. Lots of backstabbing, gossip, drama and outright lying from management.

      Don't know why Baird gets 4 stars here. The reviews are mostly negative.

      Pros

      Small company where you can know a lot of people. Relatively easy to get things done.

      Cons

      Old boys club. 99% of corp and branch management is white men who chose each other. Number of women fin advisers is 8% against industry average of 23%. Almost no people of color. Shocking and dysfunctional. Lots of long time employees guarding turf. Many secret handshakes. IB and PE are favorites while PWM makes most money. PWM under served. Command and control.
