This is a horrible, politically filled place to work

Pros

The pay is really good compared to it's peers. 401k plan doubled my money over the couple of years I was there.

Cons

You will spend 50% of your time watching your own back for people trying to stab you to get ahead. After an injury in which I was hospitalized for a month, I came back to get written up as "everything had gone wrong" while I was gone. I waited around for another review cycle - where everything was glowing - and then literally walked out the door on this job and stayed unemployed (by choice) for 6 months after. I considered changing job roles altogether but decided to stay in IT after the effect of this place wore off.

Great Place to work

Pros

amazing building and amenities, including gym, Starbucks, health clinic and massages! Wonderful co-workers. People really do care about what they do for our reps and each other.

Cons

Very limited opportunity for mobility and promotions bring a salary offer that is an insult; but, unless you want to leave the industry you are held captive because there aren't too many other places to go in San Diego with securities licenses.

Like all places... good and bad.

Pros

All of my bosses have been good about flexible schedules in regards unexpected events or family emergencies. Work life balance is very manageable. Yes there are bad days where you need to put in 10+ hours but there are also the days where you leave early because it is slow. Moving up isn't that hard if you are smart and work hard. There is a lot of legacy thinking at the firm that makes it easy to shine.

Cons

Salary has nothing to do with your talent or value you bring to the firm. Some areas are loaded with AVPs and VPs who all get 100K plus for doing nothing while there are others who are actually running the ship get peanuts. Get in with the right areas and it is a cake walk with little to no responsibility. Very little tuition assistance (3K per year). To compare, Commonwealth and US bank do 5K each.
