Pros

Solid work/life balance (roughly 45 hours per week) and decent PTO (20 days). Unusual degree of opportunity for junior/mid-level staff to lead large projects.

Cons

Poor compensation (bonuses are well below market). Requires all brokerage accounts to be maintained in-house, which is annoying because UBS fees are significantly higher than other shops (e.g., Fidelity). IB/Sales & Trading businesses are dying. Senior management is (understandably) focusing on wealth management. Strong desire to "near-shore" compliance officers to Nashville.
