Pros

recession proof employment, unless the market were to dive like in 2008 you'll pretty much always have this job as long as you can tolerate it

Cons

EVERYTHING - the writer who posted "what's wrong with me now" got it spot on ! ....In PSC we are constantly micromanaged!. There are only two types of employees at TRowe; those who are under the bus, and those who are constantly throwing you under it. The only incentive to hit numbers and meet metrics is so you can stay out of trouble, but given that all mistakes are blamed on the front line customer facing phone reps that's pretty next to impossible. Supervisors are a special kind of absent, when they are around they are too busy to help you, but instead will sit at their computers and stalk your online activity. The only thing that matters to anyone with a title is answering as many calls as possible, not that they would actually log in and assist with that effort. This is all they know. When it comes to solving problems you will dismissed and told to ask someone else. It''s bad. General managers - another very elusive bunch. Not accessbile, not accountable, not concerned with the welfare or morale of the workforce that takes the brunt of all the stress both externally from clients or the ridiculous demands forced upon us. If you like "don't question a thing" dictatorship style management you've found the place. If you want to be valued for your work and compensated fairly seriously reconsider working here. You will regret it.

Pros

Good benefits and very good 401k plan. good with respect to time off and a decent work life balance. Ok

Cons

Horrible pay, bonuses are a joke. Middle management seems to be clueless on complex issues and seems to have a lack of leadership. Unfair raises and promotions. No matter how hard you work you are always a "3". You can honestly come in late everyday do little to no work and have no idea about what is going on and you will get the same review as someone who shows up, tries and has a clue. If your idea for being rewarded for hard work is an ice cream social then T. Rowe is the place for you.

Pros

T. Rowe Price offers some of the best benefits around to full time employees. Since I was an intern I did not expect nor did I receive any benefits. However, from talking to full time employees, I saw that that T. Rowe Price offered many incentives such as matching 401k's and increasing bonuses that other firms did not offer. Additionally, the environment is stimulating and the level of professionalism I saw was enormous. During my time, I participated in many intern events and because this was a long term co-op, I was placed in fully paid corporate housing, which was a huge benefit.

Cons

The feedback I received for my performance lacked tremendously. I thought I was doing a good job, but later in the program I received complaints about performance related issues that happened a long distance time in the past. The feedback is the worst part of T. Rowe Price where people are afraid to let ones thoughts known about what is going on and to the level of perception that others see you. This is a downside of the firm that I hope they would improve because an employee doesn't know how others perceive him/her unless adequate feedback is provided to the employee.
