Pros

Great people overall in most areas of Compliance

Cons

Ever since 2008, Compliance jobs have been continually eliminated at State Street past 1-2 years being all about budget numbers so some great workers have been let go. Same thing happening again in 2012 for 2013. No opportunity to advance any more and raises, if you get one, are a complete joke.

Pros

-Good hours. I have not worked past 5 pm. The hours depend though on which department you work in. -Great salary and good benefits. -Good boss. Listens to my ideas, promotes growth, acknowledges my hard work, positive person for the most part. -Co-workers are easy to get along with.

Cons

-Inefficiency is a big one. Adobe PDF does not have the features like OCR or even highlighting and copying! One monitor only. A lot of printing. -A lot of people don't seem motivated. -Segregation. There are many employees who don't know others in their own department. I think this includes levels below VP. -Some VPs do not deserve to be VPs (not hard-working, do not have enough knowledge about their department, are unaware of things going on in their department, try to avoid controversy).
