Pros
Benefits are decent, relationships with colleagues typically always positive, friendly people, weather is nice.
Cons
Executive level and Senior level leadership is destroying what took so long to build. All the new leadership personel are external the last few years. RJ culture in the past promoted from within, but now we're a victim of our own success. We want to be running with the big dogs (Merrill, Wells, etc.) so what do we do? Bring in a bunch of folks from Merrill, Wells, etc. All, not some, all of these folks are incompetent and don't care at all about the culture. They just don't get it. They feel like they no better because they came from New York or Chicago and view RJ as a little southern firm that, bless our heart, is trying... Was RJ perfect prior to this shift? Absolutely not, but it was a good place to work. The culture is now dead. Not dying, dead. They have a convenient excuse, oh the pandemic, people are remote, it's changing the culture. Trust me, that ain't it. It's the new leadership. They're awful.
