Pros

Great 401k, downtown office is nice, learned a lot about office politics and the types of people to avoid in my career.

Cons

Poor, detached, unengaged and ignorant leadership. Most managers remind me of children that are playing "Office," just like children would play "House" or "Doctor." I believe the low low salaries attract weak and insecure talent. Beware of competitive leaders who will back stab you for a few hundred more dollars in their already tiny bonuses. This reminds me of hungry dogs fighting over a single bone. The desperation and uncertainty of income and advancement adds to the low employee morale. The skills that are taught are non-transferable. They are only relevant to specific tasks. If you are young you will be expected to perform basic Excel tasks for upper management because they are not trained on modern technology. Oh, by the way, they still use Excel for everything! It's 2013! If you are smart and talented - stay away - this company does not know how to foster your growth.

Great firm, questionable management.

Pros

Great "brand name" company, excellent benefits. Walk into the Pratt Street office and you'll see the global headquarters of a very successful firm.

Cons

Management is all over the place. Some have been around a very long time and are not well-qualified. There is a mean-spirit to the place -- especially from the female managers. Not sure if it's because they have to be tough to survive, or have never been taught that basic manners and courtesy are appropriate for the workplace. T. Rowe's brand of "mean" can be in your face or very passive-aggressive.

Pros

Stable company with very few lay offs and they do a lot of work with the community and ask for volunteers for a variety of things.

Cons

No balance between family life and work, the pay is very low compared to other mutual fund companies, and its hard to advance to other positions.
