Pros

-Pays for FINRA licenses -Good benefits -SOME co-workers are very helpful and great resources to ask questions or get advice on dealing with a situation. -You gain a plethora of knowledge in terms of investing, that no doubt will be helpful in a future role or for your own knowledge.

Cons

I can't speak for the whole company, however I can speak for this department. And all I have to say for it is AVOID it at all costs. No matter who you are, you can do better. College graduates, don't get lured in by recruiters promising all this "opportunity" and all these great perks and career expansion. It's a waste of your time. I'll tell you what you really are, a person who sits in a desk for 8 hours a day taking help desk phone calls for people who are locked out of something online or need help understanding something. That's all you really are. Granted, T. Rowe Price will pay for your FINRA licensing, however, it's not like you really put it to use and I'm sure there are a thousand other companies out there that do the same where you'd have an actual job doing something meaningful. During busy seasons, they also just tack on overtime everyday without your knowledge and give you no warning of anything. Management is very questionable, favoritism is out of control, and it's just an overall toxic work environment. Start your career elsewhere, you can do so much better than what's provided here.

Pros

*Benefits are fair *Buildings are nice *They pay for your licensing

Cons

*Horribly managed by Supervisors and "Lead Managers" *Very unfair and political when it comes to promotions *Make one mistake and you are branded for your entire tenure at TRP *EXTREMELY micromanaged *Management is not honest with you *Very low pay claims are true *Not everyone receives the same training *Corrective action is not across the board for everyone *No matter how hard you try, if a manager doesn't like you, you will be treated unfairly *Lots of upper management have family working there too, they will get promoted even if they do not deserve it *If you are not young and just out of college, don't bother applying - company is against older, experienced employees *Metrics reporting is flawed and often incorrect but TRP lives and breathes the metrics, reporting of inaccuracies is ignored *Supervisors lie to you *Favoritism is rampant *This reporting is for Colorado Springs campus

Pros

The only pro with this department is the Licensing Opportunities

Cons

AVOID THIS DEPARTMENT AT ALL COSTS. The job is FAR more complicated and detailed than what it pays. You can learn one department and be promoted in a phone group much quicker. You'll also make more money on phones. It takes forever to get up and running with the studying for the licensing and learning to write on your own. Most people run like the wind after being here for a year because the environment is so toxic. MANAGEMENT - Management is horrible! None of them are well versed in writing so they're useless. They also don't know the different departments in order to assist you with questions. TRAINING - There really is no training on the writing part. Or the different parts of the business they support. They may put you through that department's new hire training but you're pretty much on your own. Once you learn how to do something they just keep piling the work on. MAJOR MICROMANAGEMENT - They micro manage everything you do down to where your mouse is on the screen and how long the screen is idle. There's more freedom in the phone groups which makes no sense. MANDATORY OVERTIME - Be prepared to work 1-2 hours of mandatory overtime most days of the week. They're also always so short staffed that you can't get time off when needed. PHONE CONTINGENCY - If you came from an internal phone group and phones are busy, be prepared to be shipped back over there at a second's notice to answer phones.
