Great Work-Life Balance - Pay is Less Desirable
Pros
- Great company culture, great for young professionals beginning their careers. - Great management team, I believe in Raymond James' leaders in good times and bad. - Manageable hours, great work-life balance in a hybrid role (3-4x in the office per week). Note that this may differ based on what department you're in). - Very collaborative and lively environment. All senior associates are always happy to offer their guidance and mentorship. The analyst pool is young and very social. - Great opportunities for lateral mobility across the firm.
Cons
- Benefits are nothing to write home about. - Pay has always been a pain point for the firm, but it has done well to adjust to the market over the last two years. - While lateral mobility is a strong point, upward mobility is less so - many of my superiors have been in their position for more than a decade, which leaves few opportunities for growth for the younger, less senior roles.
