      Great place to work if you aren't in it for the money.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits, generous vacation, 6-week sabbatical every 4 years, relaxed environment, casual dress code, weekly bagel day, monthly patio parties in summer.

      Cons

      Many employees are not paid what their peers in other companies are paid. This problem is widespread and prevalent. Company began an initiative in 2012 to provide more transparency and better expectations with regard to compensation structure, but initiative seems to have fallen flat in 2013. Year-end bonuses for 2012 paid out in 1Q 2013 were well below the target expectations communicated in early 2012.

      Overworked and under compensated

      Pros

      - The company prides itself on helping the individual investor, which is a belief to which most employees truly subscribe. - Free lattes and casual dress are incentives that some employees really enjoy, but don't outweigh the cons.

      Cons

      - Management struggles with decisions on how to best structure the firm, and as such there have been multiple large-scale reorganizations in recent history. - Compensation is severely below market for finance and IT professionals. Compensation is also awarded from top-down success of the company, and, as such, the (financial) incentive for individual business units to strive for success is completely eliminated. - Flat management structure and segregated business units leave little chance for upward mobility. - Many groups are very understaffed, so the promoted "work-life balance" that Morningstar prides itself upon is simply not true.
