Pros

Very collegial culture. Many, many of my colleagues have been working there for 20+ years. So the company must be doing something right. Franklin is very supportive of its employees and I've found senior managers are approachable and open to speaking with employees.

Cons

The company is so geographically dispersed, you could go years without meeting a colleague face to face. Offices in the five primary US locations, plus London, Poland, Scotland, India. They use Skype to allow you to connect to your colleagues. And travelling to other locations is the norm (particularly for management). That lessens the problems associated with being so geographically spread out. There are many, many meetings with many, many people. It's not unusual to find yourself back to back conferences a calls throughout the day, often with 20+ people on the line. Many people on the line "multi-task" during calls. It's sometimes the only way they can get any work done.

Pros

Good benefits (401K match, employee stock options, etc.), depending on the department you work in you could have some decent flexibility regarding work from home,

Cons

Incredibly disorganized from the very top of the organization which only gets worse as SVPs and EVPs don't retire and just clog the hierarchy. Everyone is involved in the decision making process which means that no decisions end up getting made, or they are made too late and then the executives sacrifice a lower level manager for not acting quick enough. Certain corporate departments that aren't directly involved in client facing environments get treated incredibly poorly by the client facing departments. Raises are nonexistent (not even 3%).
