Horrible Company

Pros

No pros work here at your own risk

Cons

Force employees to work long hours of unpaid overtime, in which the company calls it extra effort time. The company blocks the use of vacation time and gives employee third degree when time is requested. Forces employees to take on new advanced roles without the upgraded merit pay. The only people who get bonuses are the greedy CEO's and Managers. Modern Day Sweat Shop. If you refuse to do the unpaid OT you will be fired eventually.

Solid Company, Long-Term Thinking

Pros

Been with this organization for about 4 years. I've observed leadership being very clear about maintaining long-term thinking and planning as a foundational concept. Very different from other financial institutions I've worked for. Leadership also demonstrates and rewards empathy, something uncommon in most financial services organizations.

Cons

Because this organization uses acquisitions as a growth model, there are some issues with associates from different legacy organizations being on different platforms, so there is not always a seamless integration which can lead to some associates experiencing systems challenges. The organization is aware, and proactive steps are being taken to align technologies, but the business model makes it somewhat of a never-ending cycle of integration which can at times be frustrating.

Pros

Great 401K match and unlimited PTO

Cons

One of the most poorly run Financial Services companies seen. Integration of SVB still not done after 1.5yrs of acquirement
