Pros

Great Ideals, with some pockets of real talent. Employees generally believe in the mission and want to work hard for the company.

Cons

Constant change in management directions. The drive to move from not-for-profit "How would you like it" to "I'm a competitor in all areas" in the financial services pension market has driven working hours up and innovation / work enjoyment out. Talented employees are not recognized and mentored. Too many competing priorities.

Pros

- Good work/life balance. - Good pay. - Encourage educational opportunities. - Senior management conducts frequent employee meetings.

Cons

- Management has a somewhat phony "openness". - Power and decision-making very centralized. - Poor accountability. - If you're not promoted within 3 or 4 years, probably never going to be.
