Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting People to work with and/or work for. There are some very good manager and senior managers employed here. HQ is in a good location in NYC.

Cons

Pay is generally below the industry norm. There is a big breakdown in communication. You don't feel like you have a path/guidance for opportunities to grow.

Average Funds, Average Managers = Average Company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally, work expectations are very reasonable. For those who wish to move internally, there are better-than-average opportunities. The Bernstein private client group has a good reputation.

Cons

There are many who feel that AllianceBernstein has lost its touch. The investments have performed horribly and the ouster of CEO Lew Sanders have lowered the confidence investors have in the company.

Pros

colleagues, I've met some really great people to keep in touch with as well as work with throughout my time there

Cons

tracking for moving up is pretty low and not guided well. people who have potential don't necessarily get the recognition they deserve even if they put themselves out there.
