Pros

The only nice thing I have to say about working for State Street is that they remodeled the Kansas City location recently instead of giving their employees raises this year so they have a really nice facility.

Cons

If you don't mind going without lunch breaks and not getting paid for it and having coworkers that are so over worked under paid and stressed out that they can't help but become mean crabby and back stabbing individuals than this job is for you! The commercials that they play on the radio couldn't be further from the truth I was an employee for nearly two years when I finally had enough and left the financial industry after 15 years.

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.
