Pros

The building is in downtown.

Cons

You work with managers who don't know basic skills of MS Office. They play favorites and only promote those who suck up to them. Even training has not even been up to par. Certain mangers play favorites so much that it doesn't matter when their favorite employee has come in late, spends all their time watching stupid movies online, leaves for an hour at a time in the middle of the day. There is no professionalism. If you've worked in the corporate area for over a year...avoid this place!

Pros

I've met some great coworkers during my time at BNY Mellon (none of them were managers). You have the option to buy up to a week of vacation and you're given 4 personal days on top of your two weeks of vacation, which is nice because you'll want to get away as much as possible.

Cons

- Out of touch, unprofessional management who don't reward high-performing employees adequately -- no incentive to try harder whatsoever. - Very limited career growth potential. You might move up to a supervisor position, but that is a pay decrease because you don't get paid overtime, and there is more overtime and late hours in my department than most people would want. - Start times are always changing in order to reduce overtime they'll have to pay us. - Constantly increasing workload with no rewards or pay increases, other than our once a year raise that doesn't even keep up with the cost of living. - Perpetually understaffed because it is very difficult and takes a long time to get new positions approved. They tend to wait until it's "too little, too late." - Lots of nitpicking, micromanagement, and checklists. - Very manual, paper-based company. - Lots of layoffs in the U.S. in order to outsource jobs to India. - Rewarding diversity seems to be a higher priority than rewarding performance.

Pros

This firm pays good wages to college graduates who matriculated at a top tier university (e.g., UC). You work 35 hours a week and the scheduling for work is pretty flexible. As long as you're in the office for the daily trades or bond servicing, it's game.

Cons

Some business groups are have better relationship managers than others. It's important to be with a good Business Group Managers
