Pros

Bonuses were decent (not as good as IBD though)

Cons

Worst place I have ever worked. Very political. If they don't like you, they will try everything they can to set you up for failure. I was in the US Portfolio Management Group for Retirement (Asset Liability Management). Very odd group of people who you think are nice but are backstabbing and mean. You do everything and they show no appreciation whatsoever and only focus on the negatives. The first week I was there the secretary told me I didn't belong there because I was too happy of a person to be working there. People don't know how to manage, they just expect to give you the work and for you to be able to do with no direction or explanation whatsoever. I would never work there again no matter how much they paid me. You work like a slave and people show no appreciation at all.

Pros

They take you to lunch on your first day. Hybrid 2 days in the office, but I'm sure that will increase. The benefits & pay.

Cons

No training at all. You learn by failed case work and what other coworkers tell you. They expect you to do case work you have never processed before. If you fail too many cases, they put it against you and say your quality is bad. Train normally and the quality wouldn't be bad. If you continue to do "bad", they will just put you on phone calls every day to help rude and mean old people. Upwards of 40+ calls daily. They also don't put everyone on phones even though they say being on phones is an essential part of the job. They pick and choose their favorites to do casework and put everyone else on phones daily. Managers are useless and just sit in meetings all day and don't offer help, training, or guidance. Managers also provide snobby remarks when asking for clarification or help and answer back as if you are the dumbest person in the room and act as if you should already know the answer.
