      Limited opportunities for advancement

      Pros

      AB is a firm full of very experienced, impressive and effective investment professionals, with a great long-term track record and is likely to benefit from a change of CEO...

      Cons

      ...but junior staff will find it very difficult to advance - the firm likes its research analysts and top sales people to have a very high level of experience.

      Smart people run the place, but they are not as smart as they believe

      Pros

      Great name recognition, disciplined, excellent training. First class in everything they do in front of clients. Ethical and buttoned up.

      Cons

      Weak Managing Directors in the private client group. They take medicore producers and move them into management with little apparent training or planning. Culture very political and while excellence is rewarded well, a lot of it success is political. Can be petty atmosphere.

      Good Place to Work--For 2 Years

      Private client associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interact with most groups within the firm--great way to see how a firm of this size really operates. Less top-down control, so it's easy to have an impact. Most contributions to projects are appreciated, though some Senior Managers/Developers notoriously refuse to respond to email.

      Cons

      Very few ways to find advancement opportunities. Managers tend to hold back on raises/promotions in hopes of stringing employees along for another year. A lot of internal jobs openings are not posted and are filled without ever being offered to other people. This makes it very hard to find another opportunity within the firm
