Pros

There are some nice, talented people to work with in technology in UBS Wealth Management Americas. Financial Advisers and their staffs are very professional, interesting and successful.

Cons

Horrible communication in technology. Treated employees horribly from a corporate / management communication standpoint. Everything in technology is underfunded and behind the curve for competing with other companies in this category. As with many large companies, management changes periodically (6 months, 1 year, 18 months, no longer than 2 years) so long term strategy and maintaining consistent resources is close to impossible. Contracted large technology firms is strategic at the management level but disastrous at the implementation level, especially technology development resources. Plans have been to move technology out of the NYC area to other locations for cost savings. Salaries are undercut at every opportunity.

Pros

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Cons

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
