Pros

Good benefits, great people to work with, gain great knowledge about the industry. Flexible work at home program. Lots of room to advance from within the company.

Cons

Can be long hours of work, and unable to predict when overtime will be required. Not much of a work/life balance at times. Very unstable systems.

Pros

This company is major player in the retirement services industry, has been very responsible with their business plan. Great company to start a career.

Cons

A little too conservative with compensation. But is not horrible, they do offer bonuses and pay increase almost every year.

Pros

Good 401k. Friendly colleagues. Nice campus with cafeteria and company store.

Cons

No work/life balance very often long hours with the expectation to put your job before your family. Bizarre old school management policies ‘do it my way or the highway approach’, with management having little or no people skills. Getting treated the same way if you made a mistake or went above and beyond. A fairly reactive, chaotic environment, rather than a proactive approach. Little, to no additional compensation each year.
