      State Street can't get you into Fenway for free, but you can get into the MFA.

      Pros

      The best reason its a great first job. They even recognized the fact that many people train and leave after a year or two by lowering the vestment for the 401k package. Communication has improved within the company over the last five years. Work life balance is good as well. i've had many managers that are very understanding of your needs and will allow you to work flex time. I think the managers and such are fair to the many employess. I'm sure that some of my comerades would say otherwize. You get out what you put in the situation.

      Cons

      The worst part of the place is the "trapped mentality" of some workers. Too many people in a group that complain can ruin morale. Compensation is good only 2\% each year. But if you actually do work, you do get bonuses'. You have to try really hard to get recognized. Im in my 20's and I feel like this place took five years off of me. The leadership does not realize the long term effects of corporate strategy. The opportunities are great but I would not want to work in other groups after seeing the differences. Do something besides surf and you will get ahead.

      Pros

      The environment is very laid back. It is a fun place to work.

      Cons

      So far, I have not seen that much change in the way of challenging work. It seems like the work you do as soon as you are done with training is the same work you will be doing for quite a while. Not the best environment for someone who thrives on challenges and change.
