Pros

You learn regulatory rules and compliance, good benefits, work schedule is flexible.

Cons

The company does not promote the right people, only the employees that have connection to managers receive promotions. All others are not as fortunate. Manger do not think out of the box, they check the box and are limited to provide anyone guidance on a daily basis, cannot dependent on managers to give you directions or take responsibilities. The company has high turnover, most employees have less than 3 years of services.

Pros

Little to no actual work High pay considering the little amount of work you really do Great place to be hungover; very quiet

Cons

Everything is a process Your salary and career are determined by a grade system Red Tape Central! Management and Senior Management are slow This company moves at the speed of a turtle; therefore your career will as well.

Pros

A lot of highly capable people. Resonable Salary and benefits, annual bonus system. Company is highly visible in the financial markets.

Cons

Little to no upward mobility. Management is very top down and does not listen to front line folks. Long term business strategy is nearly non existent. Company prefers to hire from outside rather than promote from within. Performance appraisal system is ineffective and does not accurately tie performance to business objectives.
