Pros

Better work life balance but it gets nullified with the stress of being underpaid.

Cons

Zero growth opportunities. High gender pay gap. Gender bias in considering for promotions. Political industry and people only good at politics can thrive in this company.

Don’t do it

Pros

Helpful management, friendly peers. Nice flagship office in NJ.

Cons

Poor pay, on the phone the entire shift. It’s a call center job disguised as a more sophisticated wealth management job. UBS’ Wealth Advice Center is very disorganized and many customers complain, and employees are poorly trained. I would only advise taking this job if you are looking for somewhere to get licensed. Get licensed with your 7 here then leave.

Pros

Overall, a good culture, time off and benefits are pretty good comparatively speaking. Internal mobility is highly encouraged and short and long term job shadowing options, some possible international options as well, are a great way to learn more about an area of interest before taking on the role.

Cons

Pay is lacking for the industry. A LOT of red tape given the global nature of the business. Things move very slowly including promotions, pay raises and remote work decisions. Structure of line management is confusing and direction is often discombobulated. Some of the line managers seem to have a "grind and die" mentality that is really daunting and burnout seems to be a bit rampant.
