Pros

Great benefits, used to have a good pension. Good middle management and nice co-workers.

Cons

Upper management aloof. Too much politics and backstabbing, kingdom making. Not much chance for a promotion unless you know somebody in the in.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
