      Company moves very slowly, seems like most people are going through the motions until retirement

      Pros

      Good work/life balance, good benefits, strong mission

      Cons

      Company moves very slowly and has a very rigid bureaucracy. At times it feels like working for a government organization. Senior management sees the need to change, but is not actively pushing for change. There is also significant bloat within the organization and many Director and Managing Director level employees are quite weak. No clear career paths for employees.

      Not the most dynamic experience ...

      Pros

      The compensation was fair, and there seems to be a true commitment to promoting work/life balance. People who have worked here are knowledgeable (but not to be confused with passionate) about what they do. They offer an EXCELLENT retirement benefits package.

      Cons

      There is an extremely "old-school" style of management that I found hierachical and exclusive. This means that they are not necessarily open to finding out what employees want/need. They assume they know it already. Progress on projects was always very slow and reactive, instead of progressive. The reputation of being a grandfatherly company comes from its slow pace and lack of young and/or dynamic people. I am not sure if they have ever fully recovered from reputational issues.The last I heard since I left, is that they are STILL working on becoming a recognizable brand and striving to compete with other financial services companies.

      Good place to work with great benefits

      Pros

      Great benefits... good health care and plenty of vacation. Good pay for someone starting out in the industry.

      Cons

      Products are a nightmare to deal with and explain to clients. This place is also a technology dinosaur. Limited growth opportunities. It's not unusual to be in competition for a position with someone who has been with the company for 10+ years.
