Pros

None. Before deciding to leave, I asked myself repeatedly, what will I miss about Jefferies? Each time the answer was, nothing.

Cons

Jefferies was a good place to work for. I enjoyed going to work. I felt like I made a difference. I felt valued. All that changed when IT was outsourced. Overnight, management's attitude changed. We were no longer an asset but just a resource. Management only looks out for management. It's a very selfish environment. Zero room for growth.
