Business Outlook
Pros
Work/life balance in some groups is great, with work from home potential and tons of vacation time. They will hire anyone who shows even halfway competency and can network with a recruiter.
Cons
Salary is low. Really low. I mean if you are getting hired without even a bachelors degree (like I was), then its not so bad but in terms of a career or post graduation it is just absolutely awful. The benefits are good, but in this industry nearly all companies have good benefits so don't let that sway you. The saddest part is the annual layoffs and the fact that the industry has simply passed by its glory years for a company like state street. In the 80's and 90's this company was heaven on earth but not anymore.
