Comp is so horrible its like you are paying to be employed - Anonymous employee AllianceBernstein Employee Review

Pay is so disgustingly sub-par. You are basically paying to be employed by way of opportunity cost. When your 2 largest share holders (CEO & AXA) make up your compensation committee (who sets the comp accrual ratio, which is the single biggest driver of the dividend paid to said shareholders) then you've got a problem. As an employee that is. As a shareholder I would imagine its great ... 7% div on a $25 name that goes nowhere? Pretty great I guess.
