Pros

The company encourages you to learn. The company makes every effort for you to learn. Everyone there is very friendly.

Cons

Pretty long hours. But this should be expected for financial service firm. No other cons that I can imagine of.

Pros

very skilled coworkers, great brand name, flexibility with vacation (dependent upon your group), always looking for ways to improve, "if you're not first, you're last" mentality

Cons

long hours, for a company making around $8bn the pay isn't great, perfection is satisfactory, anything less is failure, anything more is expected...this causes lots of stress

Pros

Company is very successful and well positioned in the market place. Employees are intelligent and motivated. Company is well recognized.

Cons

Decision making is extemely centalized, and managment team does not recognize the imperative to empower people so that they may contribute to their potential.
