Pros

Can't find many for this category - Upper management tends to be more relaxed yet clued in than lower management; decent number of relevant courses are offered to expand upon one's skills.

Cons

Lower management (team managers..not VPs and above) tends to be clueless and backwards through their support for outdated and unnecessary policies; bonuses are tight; advanced degree compensation is tight; climbing corporate ladder depends more upon if you have an advanced degree; salary/raises are tight.

Pros

Intelligent and nice people. Good working hours, very good breakfast and lunch facility

Cons

Below average comp. Top management only interested in keeping share prices from further falling.

Pros

Work-life balance is pretty good...but this is also directly correlated with returns and compensation.

Cons

Pay is so disgustingly sub-par. You are basically paying to be employed by way of opportunity cost. When your 2 largest share holders (CEO & AXA) make up your compensation committee (who sets the comp accrual ratio, which is the single biggest driver of the dividend paid to said shareholders) then you've got a problem. As an employee that is. As a shareholder I would imagine its great ... 7% div on a $25 name that goes nowhere? Pretty great I guess.
