Pros

High performers recognized. Layoffs, while unfortunate, were done as fairly as possible, with the lowest performers and those with personality issues let go first.

Cons

Portfolio managers were extremely intelligent but many not worth the management fees they charge, as they lack the ability to generate excess returns over a passive strategy.

Pros

smart enthusiastic people, great place to begin a career, excellent benefits from health to dental to vision to long term disability

Cons

too much turn over especially in the upper management area. a black box in terms in compensation structure. too many high priced people get brought in and hurt it for the loyal long term folks.
