      Pros

      The annual salary is pretty good, year end raises and bonuses are insulting

      Cons

      Management is petty and incompetent. All criticism is met with swift retribution. The systems are beyond obsolete. Coworkers are all too happy to stab you in the back at the first opportunity. Many people go on leave to handle the stress. Immoral business practices that are used to create a competitive advantage in the market place. Be ready to work insane amounts of overtime to compensate for the many shortcomings in staffing and system failures.

      Pros

      Community involvement, Good salary, retirement, benefits, industry knowledge, work life balance in most departments, cafeteria, fitness center, network forums, sport teams, technology up to par. The company has a lot of departments that you can work in and if you apply yourself, network, and make a good name for yourself you could really transition to others roles and really grow.

      Cons

      Working in the accounting and reporting department required a lot a of hours and the beginning there was no work life balance. You could easily work 70hrs per week during annual close and it was expected. The controller of the department had favorites and could be really nasty when under a lot of pressure. Most of the members of the team were intimidated by the controller, even the managers. Some days you don't know what mood you would find that person in. Also, there were managers of the department who are micro managers. Meaning if a task is due by the EOD, they would come by your desk 5 times during the day for a status update and ask what you are working on which was really stressful and annoying, especially when you have multiple tasks due the same day. But of course that sort of micro managing starts at the top and trickles down to the analyst which made the morale really low within department.

      Pros

      Great people that work very hard to make things simplified for Advisors. There were good benefits e.g, medical, dental and vision. The reitirement package is nice because they match your contribution right away. I was impressed with the diversity of those in upper management.

      Cons

      It may be difficult to move new ideas through upper management. Changes to management and management structure can be swift.
