Pros

The benefits are pretty good and the people I have worked with have been great for the most part.

Cons

The outlook is bleak and the culture is now very sad. This company used to be about making money and having fun. Now it seems to be scrambling to find a new path. There have been a lot of lay-offs and restructuring with very little leadership.

Pros

Not many, except your cowrkers (i.e. non-mangers) are usually very talented, lovely people to work with. They do not value their employees. Oh - you get to wear jeans on Fridays, WOOHOO!

Cons

You get bullied into keeping your work week at 40 hours despite putting in an average of 1-3, soemtimes more hours a week ( a direct violation of the DOL standards). They have been laying off several hundred (could be about 2,000 or more since 2013), and spreading the piling of work onto those loyal, dedicated employees that they haven't eliminated in order to increase their demand for automation. This is ultimately affecting all the clients and customers and creates a serious declien int he quality of our products offered (I am in the etirement services division). There is absolutely no motivation or morale in any of the offices. The health insurance is sooooo awful, they offer their own supplemental insurance policies that you can purchase - this should be illegal in my opinion.
