Pros

Merrill is going through a transformation, new leadership, new products, a tremendous amount of change to become a market leader once again. There are lots of good people at Merrill, and most really want to do the right thing.

Cons

Politics can be thick, and most internal support processes are poor or non-existent. Leaders that are your best friend one day can turn their back on you the next. Driving change is very hard, unless you are embraced by those in positions of power, real or assumed. Knowing the political landscape can be very challenging and sometimes it's best to simply keep your head down and do what you are told.

Pros

-Coworkers are great. -Training is good. -Customers are usually ok to work with.

Cons

Summary: As a PSS, you'll be expected to support several different products, many of which you will not touch often. It's difficult to be an expert covering so many products and features. They change and update features often, which is both good and bad for customers, but also makes it much more difficult for PSS. You handle really sensitive information (M&A), but are expected to assist multiple customers at once - this is a huge risk. Additional cons: -They implemented a AI agent and then fired several great employees, then increased the rest of the staffs expected workload. -They change ways of working often. -The knowledge base is often out of date. -There's almost always a backlog, but the clients work can be "urgent" - making some clients upset on wait time.
