Pros

Good name on resume, management within office is good.

Cons

They don't tell you what the job actually entails when interviewing, no rewards for good work, put way too much responsibility on employees without enough support. Fire people with no reason given and no warning. Most turnover I have ever seen in a company.

Banking firm with a technology attitude - great people to work with and more importantly, learn from. Work-life balance is excellent, and technology really is top-notch.

Cons

No major cons, some politics but generally you get to do your work in peace

Wealth Management- Branch Analyst Program

Anonymous employee

Pros

The ability to work in multiple branches gives you exposure to many different teams. The employees in the branches were very kind and very transparent. You are allowed to take as many license exams as you wish and it is encouraged.

Cons

The program is unorganized and lacks direction. The communication between the program heads and the branches where the analyst work is very poor. If you aren't proactive you can end up getting lost in the shuffle and not having a role. If you are proactive it may be seen as dissatisfaction. If you have prior finance experience or hands on internships this job is a step back.
