Pros

Vacation time and sick time offered. Company has many perks and benefits

Cons

Bonus is not guaranteed while they tell you it’s a part of the pay structure. They continuously change the metrics components of a scorecard are with little warning and have also retro activated these changes. During interviews and the hiring process this is NEVER discussed. Their systems and process model is antiquated. While the vacation time is available, when used you’re often then behind because there is little to no assistance in place. It will undoubtedly trigger client and FAs to complete surveys about the level of service they have both received. They push these surveys by asking the Relationship Manager to send several follow ups pandering to both parties to encourage them to complete it. The surveys are discussed ad nauseam yet they do NOTHING to improve the actual process.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
