      Pros

      It's a great company. I enjoy my coworkers and you are always learning something new. I feel there is room to grow as long as you have a game plan.

      Cons

      There is a lot of required overtime, and that can be hard when you are trying to balance work and personal life. The IT systems are outdated and limited.

      For Information Technology (IT) roles - potentially difficult place to work. A good company in many aspects.

      Pros

      Good Benefits and compensation, excellent diversity. Many opportunities to learn and help fix things. Training is available for self starters, on site health care. They are trying to improve things. Met many good and knowledgeable people. I believe most employees are doing the best the can within their roles, training and political constraints.

      Cons

      Application environment is fragile and fragmented after many years of change to business processes after which many knowledgeable people were let go and replaced by clueless contractors. In reaction an agile scrum devops approach was implemented and is driving massive change which creates instability in the environment. Management levels are under pressure to deliver new features while also improving reliability. For some teams in IT there is little or no work life balance. There is too high a dependence on contractors/contingent workers. Environment can be chaotic when things go wrong. Politics drives the wrong behavior at times.

      Pros

      Compensation and benefits are great but the mental abuse they put you through is not worth it.

      Cons

      Management who thinks development involves micromanagement, intimidation and constantly informing you that your job can be taken away daily. Performance doesn't mean anything (when I left I was at 100% of my sales goals) and they are only looking for "yes" men and women who will agree with the directors point of view at all times. So much time was spent on having strategy calls on how to address your next strategy call. Focus is more on the paperwork than actually helping the clients. Wealth Management Advisor turnover is rampant
