Pros

It's hard to come up with the requires 20 word minimum for pros. We got new chairs, I guess.

Cons

People management skills are essentially nonexistent. People are either threatened or bullied. Not the remotest incentive to take initiative. Executives shrink from tough decisions and any/all risk, and yet seem never held accountable. No wonder Merrill has not yet been acquired no matter what they do. Colleagues are completely unwilling to treat others with respect or common courtesy. Appalling tolerance for narrowminded and culturally insensitive behavior.

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 -The knowledge base is often out of date.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.
