Lack of imagination

Pros

The on-site cafeteria is really nice and the food is pretty tasty. Starting off the compensation is fairly good but average when compared to other financial companies. Structurally the company is organized and has a good idea of where/how to staff certain positions.

Cons

Clicky when it comes to management and their favorites. If you do not open up and are talkative/friendly, you will likely be passed up for a promotion. 10% cap on any change in position, even into management. This prevents people from jumping into a higher position, as you would likely become exempt and work longer hours for less pay.
