Pros

T. Rowe Price has great benefits. You are not expected to work long hours. Your colleagues are mostly very friendly people.

Cons

Too slow paced. Too conservative of a culture. New ideas are met with a lot of resistance. Located in Baltimore.

Pros

If your fresh out of school or looking to change careers, T. Rowe Price is a great place to start. Great name, responsible/conservative money management, great 401k choices and a reasonable number of hours in the work week round out my experience here. TROW is in a great position in the industry to capitalize on the current market condition and is poised for growth in the future.

Cons

The company is conservative in nature and is very slow to adapt to changes. For instance, the majority of the workforce here is grossly underpaid and certain groups are overworked. Not a great model considering all employees are compensated based on the same scale and the fact that promotional and annual merit raises are non-negotiable. Adding insult to injury is the small raise dollar amount of these increases due to the miniscule base salary. Bonuses are paid yearly, however in order to realize the full benefit of them you would have to stay with the company 5 years as a portion of the bonus goes straight to your 401k.

Pros

I had very little experience in the industry and they have an extensive training program that teaches you everything you need to know to be on the phones. Initially, the help you receive as a newbie is impeccable.

Cons

Once you move on up the food chain, the pay doesnt get much better, and the work load is near impossible. This is a call center environment; however I was doing the same amount of work as if I ran my own office (w/o an assistant). You cant have the best quality with little room to manuever with the metrics. You can have one or the other, but not the best of both. The expectations are extremely high once you are licensed, and it is very easy to not be perfect.
