Pros

Northern Trust has a well established culture and is extremely conservative. Job security is execellent. The people for the most part are good to work with. Flexible work schedule.

Cons

Benefits have gotten worse the last 10 years. Pay is well below industry. Middle management is pretty bad. Employees are not held accountable for bad performance.

Pros

Northern Trust is a highly respected company in Chicago. If you a college grad and your looking for a minimal salary to get by on while you party in Chicago for a couple years, this is the place to go.

Cons

The pay is downright awful. Especially for the hours you work and the location of the office. If they want to pay people 40K then move out to Po-Dunk Idaho. But if they want to have an office in downtown Chicago then they need to recognize the fact that their employees cost of living is going to be higher and thus they need to pay more. There is no opportunity for any type of quick advancement in the fund accounting department. You can work all you want and produce more than the rest but at the end of the day you'll be told to get in line and wait until it's your turn to get a promotion. I worked way more hours than a co-worker and produced better results and at the end of the year, we got the same measly pay raise. I should have left work earlier and just spent the time with family.
