Pros

Work/Life balance, friendly people, great environment. No fees for staff.

Cons

Hard to move up. You can only get one job grade at a time - even if you are fully qualified for a job 2 grade higher than your's - its unlikely you will be considered. Pay scales are below market for Technology staff. Also they announce record profiits - yet still constantly cut staff, and give record low bonuses. Too much work is being piled on reduced staff.

Lots of products and services. Tons of potential!

In order to be a top performer, you have to be willing to break the law and accept that the company wants you to violate BSA regulations related to KYC, CDD, and EDD.
