Pros

Mission driven organization with strong focus on putting the interests of clients first and foremost to help them reach financial well-being.

Cons

Somewhat smaller in number of employees and structural complexity as compared to other large financial services companies, therefore the number of opportunities for vertical movement may be less than others.

Pros

Good PTO and 401k match

Cons

IT almost always seems to be in reorganization/restructure mode. Cronies are brought in by senior management as they believe hey have all the answers. Good, solid and knowledgable middle management is let go to accommodate these new directors/managers who soon find it isnt as easy as everone believed. The poor people that have held onto their jobs are placed in a ridiculous position to carry the additional burden. Unless you are part of the newest senior managements 'good list', you can kiss any growth opportunities and advancement goodbye, regardless of how good and knowledgable you are.
