Morgan Stanley reviews

I chose to be a financial advisor trainee and the turnover rate for this position is nearly 80% and are basically given 3 months in production to make or brake an almost impossible sales goal. If you know alot of people with money you should have no problem. Managers also treat you as the statistic just to meet hiring goals. Great opportunity for the right person but just don't get to comfortable unless you are a sales superstar.

Poor leadership and higly stratified environment. A great deal of emphasis placed on title and level. Big differences in what you will experience depending on who your management team is. Very insular and clicky - reminded me of high school. You will go through a very long hiring process. Approximately 5 to 10 rounds of interviews depending on group and level. Very hard to get hired from outside above the vice president level. There are many different of work life balance programs available, however, they are more likely to be supportive of women wanting modified work arrangements then men. In genereal you MUST be very good at navigating internal politics to survive and especially advance.
