Pros

Roger seems to have a good message, however, unless some changes are made at the top, this company will continue to decline. The current leadership, for the most part, are the one's responsible for the current issues.

Cons

No communication between business areas; no consistent accountability of poor performers; high performers are asked to do more, with little to no recognition. About as dysfunctional place as I have worked in my career. One example is the Omni conversion. Years past due, millions over budget, and the culprits now have been promoted. Things that happen at this company and pass as performance would be grounds for dismissal at other places. It is a very passive aggressive environment and this tone is modeled from Senior Leadership behavior and politics. There is little teamwork between business areas, and with the economy down, has become more back stabbing than ever.

Pros

They have great retirement plan benefits and health insurance. Great to have a Dr. on site.

Cons

Little work/life balance. Depending on your position you have to stay until the work is complete so you never know when your work day will end. Communication regarding procedures is slow, if at all.

Pros

Good shelf space with CREF. Everyone knows who they are, so it's rather easy to get advisors on the phone.

Cons

Bad products. Can't sell based on low expenses alone. Performance is the bottom line.
