Pros

MBA Tution benefit Good Health care 6 Week Sabbatical after 4 yrs of employment

Cons

Salary is at least 30% below Market rate. Management wont agree to this. Recently they got consultants to help them review employer salaries and benefits and found that employers are underpaid. The management always has an excuse that the company grew too fast in very short span. If that's the case then employees at Facebook, Groupon, Google should be working for free! The growth that Morningstar has seen in last 10 years, the above companies have seen 10 months. Low salary is just an excuse to get cheap untrained labor. The senior management that has been with the company for more than decade get very well paid. Incompetent Managers - Some of the Product Managers, Team leaders are totally incompetent. Just because they have been with the company for over 10 yrs get the position. Too much politics - No body would admit this but even a dumb person who works at Morningstar would realize that Politics is what is killing this Company.
