Pros

- Work life balance is generally good (depends on department) - Salary is good, raises are ok, end of year bonuses are great (from what I've heard) - Work environment is friendly and building is nice...not a big sea of cubicles - Accommodate training opportunities - Great leadership...Bank strategy is simple to understand and maintain unlike "big banks" - Bank is growing and has room for more growth - Eagle Cafe is subsidized food; few other perks ($65 cell reimbursement)

Cons

- Financial Industry comes with high-scrutiny from regulators, which can mean putting out last minute fire drills - Have to hold all discretionary trading accounts with the Bank and their fees are high for the average person who likes to do some moderate trading.

Pros

I have been here for 4+ years. FRB is "not just another bank" - it is a very successful, greatly respected full service financial firm that has retained many positive qualities of a start-up or a family business. 1. Our attention to customers and clients is off the chart 2. Very, very flat organization - I can approach anyone with an idea or a contribution 3. Cafe - from Wolfgang Puck 4. Pay for performance 5. You get your birthday off (I don't know of any other finance firm that offers something like that) 6. I get to work every day with very smart, very committed, very focused people

Cons

1. The pain associated with growth - we have grown explosively since we became independent in 2010 2. Management can trend too conservative sometimes, but I see it improving - they are becoming more open minded and aware what they need to do to be a competitive employer
