Pros

Experience in a financial regulation org

Cons

Company pay scale pays dc Maryland employees on southern pay scale equal to Atlanta which is very low for the area. Everyone had to have a second job even attorneys. Also the company is regularly downsizing and reducing benefits.

Pros

- Well known organization. - Intelligent colleagues and interesting work if your plan is to stay in compliance. - Well compensated for most entry level jobs, great benefits. - Met some great colleagues that are still friends today.

Cons

- Most jobs there is no clear structure for promotions or management opportunities. - Employees have worked for the company for too long; they do not want change or innovation. They are just coming in for the paycheck. - Lack of creativity; everything is done the same way for years. - Felt little power to speak up or offer ideas because execs prefer how things have been. Take a long time for ideas to be approved/executed.
