Pros

Solid company in a market that isn't going anywhere. Great benefits and good people. Management treats associates with respect and associates earn this respect with much expected of them.

Cons

If you're looking for quick movement up the corporate ladder, this is not the place for you. Long term approach is across the board with American Funds.

Pros

professional work environment, good benefits (although they've scaled back recently), exposure to mutual fund industry if that's what you're interested in

Cons

compensation is minimal and promotion is hard to come by, management denies the fact that it heavily micro-manages its staff, company is very slow to adapt to change

Pros

Excellent working conditions, great people, top pay and benefits. What I liked best about Capital Group was its esprit de corps and the desire to always be at the forefront of technology. Compared to my previous employers in this industry, Capital invested real money in being tech savy.

Cons

Vision framed by a rear view mirror. Sales and Marketing folks relive a glorious past (pick a decade...) with stories that loyal followers love to hear. Ergo, slow to change, evolve or innovate with respect to investment mandates or vehicles. Capital may be the victim of its own long term success and sees no need to offer new services the market demands and obtains from other firms.
