Pros

There is a pension plan.

Cons

Even though 2014 was an excellent year for the company's earnings, most employees didn't get a raise. The only employees who seem to like working for this company are the employees who've worked for Northern Trust their entire careers, and they manage, and are managed, by fear. Everyone else is surviving until they can move on. There's virtually no opportunity for growth, advancement or promotion for most employees, and the hiring practices have gone downmarket to save money. Most new hires are right out of college, or a few years out of college, and not too bright.

Pros

Interesting work helping clients grow their business. Promoted several times (it took a while). Most roles worked with many areas at the firm so it provided a holistic view of the organization, which was great.

Cons

Some managers created a difficult work environments. Those partners are no longer at the firm...but neither am I along with some talented people who left or were part of one of the a RIFs.
