Pros

Addition of Bob McCann has help make wealth management the driving force of the company. WM continues to get better and clients are taken care of well.

Cons

Investment banking division is not well run. Tough to get good employees when compensation isn't good. Equity research needs improvement as other firms on the street have better research. All comes down to compensation. Compensation across the firm is the biggest weakness.
