Pros

Very good benefit package Many good people work for this company I believe Jim Kennedy is a good man who doesn't know how people are being treated I'm sure the company started out actually caring about its employees, but somewhere along the line that has been lost.

Cons

HORRIBLE PLACE TO WORK: Torturous workload, gruelling hours, sweatshop environment, not enough people to process work. Impossible to please managers because parameters of job change daily. Managers are hired from other departments and most don't have a clue what those under them do. Horrible work-life balance because of the hours of overtime that are expected, especially during tax season. The expectations management has for the processors to meet productivity and quality numbers is unrealistic and the pressure they place on their employees is inhumane. People are literally killing themselves to escape the nightmare that is their job.

Pros

not a very uptight environment. corporate campus is nice and people are friendly. focus is strong on providing strong service for customers.

Cons

pay compared to competitors. you can outperform everyone around you and the merit based increase will be a fraction of a percentage more then people whose work you spend your entire day covering. no incentive for the overachiever.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work at T. Rowe Price is for the benefits. They offer contribution matching of your 401K and stock purchase program, but the tuition reimbursement program has changed so much it's almost not even worth it now. I beleive they match 75% of your tuition and you must pay it back if you do not stay with the company 2 years after you graduate with your degree. The only other pro about T. Rowe is you are almost guaranteed a supervisory or management position if you stay with the company for at least 10 years, but not for any good reason but tenure.

Cons

There are many problems with T. Rowe Price. The management does not communicate well with their employees, change is not promoted, and salaries do not reflect the skill, knowledge and risk of many positions as well as it is not comprable to that of other financial institutions. There are many cases of micro management within the firm and not too many performance promotions occur.
