Pros

FM is a very stable company and this is especially appealing when there is uncertainty in the economy. FM offers a pension, which is unique for a private company, and this is in addition to a 401k match. If you spend many years here, you will have a very secure retirement set up for you. There are a lot of growth opportunities, especially for those that are willing to relocate. The benefits are good and the pay is fair. You could make more if you move to a broker or possibly the competition, but you lose out on the pension (which is admittedly hard to quantify in terms of salary). There is great work life balance in the company, some will work many hours, but that is mainly by their choice.

Cons

There are not as many career opportunities for you if you're not willing to relocate. There is very limited flexibility with hybrid working arrangements.

Pros

* Great business model at the foundation * Solid compensation program: Base salary + bonus * Sustained high profitability over the long term * Stable employement * Pension Plan

Cons

* Extremely hierarchical and regimented * Promotions based on favortism rather than true merit. Employees are precategorized and stigmatized on their ability for future career progression. * Extremely focused on metrics and internal objectives. This leads to box checking, cutting corners and bending rules to meet the numbers. * Extremely heavy workload. No work-life balance. * Management doesn't really incorporate employee feedback; they pretend to to check a box. * Quality of job suffers to keep up with quantity. Everything is becoming data driven and the data is often wrong. Enormous pressure to hit a button and accept at face value whatever the system spews out. * Our CEO builds fancy gold plated office buildings that aren't needed and pulled the plug on hybrid work to justify the investment in the real estate.
