      Keeping my head down, doing the best I can, with the goal of professionally growing while advancing my career.

      Pros

      Excellent benefits. 3 weeks vacation, 8 sick days, 2 personal days when hired. Company funded HSA which is yours whether you stay or leave the firm and is replenished every year. Generous family leave when you have children.

      Cons

      Micro-managed. Severely underpaid at 50K a year compared to the market we work and peer firms. Unless you live locally the commute is undesirable. Severely understaffed and overworked teams, which in my time, clearly has negative impacts on morale across the teams and produces over 40% turnover in the first year of employment for new hires. Have to stay in the role for 18 months before you can look at other career opportunities/paths in the firm.

      Great place to work - until you get laid off.

      Pros

      Great benefits, competitive pay, inclusive and diverse atmosphere.

      Cons

      If you work in IT management, you know that you are never more than a heartbeat away from a layoff and the layoffs do not seem tied to overall company performance or personal performance.

      Financial Advisor (Wealth Advice Center)

      Pros

      Great environment to work in and as long as you work hard and hit your goals, no one will bother you about anything. In addition, if you do put in the hours above the regular 9-5, you will be paid out very nicely quarterly and with the end of the year bonus. There is also a very fair salary that comes with the whole package.

      Cons

      Goals change a lot and certain quarters, they will be much harder to get even if you work 2x as hard as a previous quarter and still not get paid as much. The Wealth Advice Center division is a few years young, so they are still changing compensation structure as each year goes on. It sometimes is unfair, as they have in the past overpaid one team, in a certain quarter, and did not pay the other teams much. What was unfair, was that the goals were made impossible the following quarter, and no one got paid. So in retrospect, about 18 advisors from the Prospect team made 20-25k in one quarter, and overall that much more than other advisors for the year.
