      Worst experience of my life.

      Pros

      Okay pay, good benefits that are being eroded by cost-cutting, great retirement plan.

      Cons

      Managers are control freaks and hypocrites. Culture emphasizes constant "feedback" and correction, which can have exactly the opposite effect when you realize you can't ever do anything right. Work is mind-numbing with poorly defined responsibilities that shift constantly, depending on "business need" - any personal flair or individuality will be beaten out of you. Attitude is "fall in line or there's the door". Career growth opportunities or coaching are nonexistent.

      A company that is in a downward spiral

      Pros

      The benefits are excellent, the training is good and many of the people working there are good people.

      Cons

      The atmosphere at work is almost cult-like. The expectation is to embrace the "Capital Way"- or else. And the or else can be brutal. The next round of changes are going to lower the quality of about everything at American Funds. The move towards OMS (whatever that means), is just a move to a call center mentality. Team managers and senior managers are realizing that managing people who have no chance for growth at the company is going to be difficult. It has a Titanic feel now; not enough lifeboats and the band is starting to fade.
