Pros

There weren't really any pros in KC.

Cons

In all honesty, this place was a joke. I took the job as a resume filler as I'm finishing college right now. The recruiter told me the position was for the shift that would work with my school schedule. Come to find out in the interview it was literally the opposite. Fast forward to actually working there. My job was essentially processing trade data in the accounting system. The computer system did not work, ever. IT support would never resolve issues and left things open for longer than a month. I was the only person trained to cover my accounts. The "training manual" for that client was outdated by three years and completely wrong. The people I worked with were extremely negative. Everyone was worried about losing their job. All the time. For as large as this company is, I am honestly amazed they are in business. They cannot function at all. It is good if you need a large corporation on your resume, but then again not so much. The accounting firms I am interviewing with now joked about me being another ex-State Street person.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
