Progress to be made - Anonymous employee Raymond James Financial Employee Review

Very bureaucratic company led by conservative management, managers viewed staff as expendable / did not care about junior professionals boundaries and lifestyle, lack of gender and racial diversity appalling especially given they are a financial services firm / must compete globally, HR exists to limit liability / protect the firm rather than to protect employees, have heard upper management verbally refuse to recruit from certain employers and universities in order to preserve their "culture" despite candidates' qualifications
