Pros

Excellent reputation in the industry, highly qualified technical personnel and support, mostly high quality employees, and largely good management. Good, stable direction in an industry known for flavor of the month trends.

Cons

Rather impersonal. Some disturbing trends in the management direction of Risk Control, after many years of excellent leadership that was quite competent, very realistic, down-to-earth, with great sense of humor and personable.

Pros

Large organization with many talented people. Excellent updates routinely provided on industry you work in and how the company is doing, strategies, etc. Good vacation time, matching on 401K is great. Ability to learn, grow, and develop a broad skill set. Can wear many hats depending on your role which is a good thing as opposed to being a task manager within an organization.

Cons

Management depending on your department views promotions more in terms of duration employees are in a role as opposed to whether or not someone can do the job. Upper management provides extreme conservatiive postures on business yet the expectation for field employees is to grow portfolio which is a conflict within the organization but may be specific to the NYC Metro territory. Very little flexibility provided to employees in terms of virtual arrangements, senior management needs to realize that the way of the world is becoming more virtual and the new generation of good talent will eventually want virtual arrangements to invest in the organization long term.

Pros

Good benefits, more paid time off than most other jobs out there, decent salary with opportunity for bonuses.

Cons

Management does not spend enough time with individuals. Management seems to have no time for something an employee feels is important. Not much opportunity for advancement.
