Pros

great industry exposure and gives you the opportunity to learn about various facets of the financial services industry and broker dealer lines of business

Cons

at the onset the work life balance/culture was a huge benefit but it seems as though the organization is moving towards a micromanagement and metrics driven (beyond reason) management style which is more focused on reporting rather than qualitative work product

Pros

The Benefit plan is good.

Cons

Very poor leadership. There is no concept of "what is the right thing to do". Some of the management always cut the corners and show case something to the business for survival or to make annual bonus. If you speak up on any issue and come up with a solution, then you will be treated like a second class citizen. Managers and their incompetent teams produce ton of flak and nobody cares about them. Because management only cares about their year end bonus. Some managers takes unilateral decisions with out building consensus. Too many managers and very less people who can do the work. Lot of talk and no action....

Pros

Awesome pay for little to no work. Huge bonuses. I come and go as I please, no one asks a single question.

Cons

REd Tape galore. I work in HR and see many of the pay discrepancies across the organization. Some of our execs make millions and don't do anything. If you are a new college grad, expect to make in the high fifties, but you'll be doing a lot of grunt work. So many layers of management that we're sure to have another Madoff scandal here soon...
