Pros

Best in class marketing. Training and development for new sales positions is first rate. Those that are politically adept can make a lot of money. Still some good people left. Resources in some positions are almost unlimited.

Cons

Concur with comments regarding dysfunctional management. Promotions are political, not merit based. Investment performance is not the focus. This is an asset gatherer, not manager. Management will say one thing and do another frequently. Current CEO is a deal maker and looks to be setting up for a sale of the company. This means anyone that is client facing is in a good position, but those in the background are not.

Pros

It is a job that pays a salary and an okay place if you have never had a job before

Cons

Bureaucratic management. Clueless HR leaders with business/tech scope surrounded by yes men. Middle management takes pride in fully adopting the used car salesmen demeanor.
