      This department needs an infusion of new leadership.

      Pros

      AB is a good company to work for. Pleasant employees, Good salary and benefits. There seems to be an effort from upper management to engage the company staff.

      Cons

      Admin Services/Facilities is a depressing department to work for. It's very insular, low morale among it's staff, reeks of favoritism. Privelege are accorded only to a small select group of favorites who are protected by the SVP that runs this department. Incompetence is rampant among the favorites who, though grossly unqualified , have been promoted to high level positions. Department staff who have lodged complaints to upper management about the favorites have been the subject of retaliation by getting fired or laid off.

      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

      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
