Pros

There are opportunities for growth in professional knowledge. Immediate vesting of 401k.

Cons

Pay, 401k match (get rid of this stretched match nonsense. I am not a kid and do not need a nanny. If the salary was more competitive, I would elect to defer more money.

Pros

Good cafeteria, decent benefits, nice people...your fellow drones.

Cons

Top management, even middle management completely disconnected from customer-facing staff. Bonuses and raises are meaningless as these do not equal inflation. Unhelpful HR department in constant flux. No upward paths, so many overqualified people stuck in their positions.

Pros

The position provides for good exposure/ experience to the retirement industry.

Cons

There is little to no training. Company does not invest much in employees, you are definitely a number.
