Pros

Great benefits, competitive pay, and the majority of the people there are genuine and caring people. There are a lot of great things about Sterling, but unfortunately there are more cons than pros.

Cons

A recent change in management has turned a dream job into an environment with excessive micro-management, ridiculous expectations, and disrespectful peers. There are many good ideas rarely executed in an effective manner. Training has been inconsistent.

Pros

Pension plan via BB&T (future uncertain given Truist merger), a FEW good people who still care and are committed to doing good work and collaborating .positively and effectively

Cons

Poor strategy, inability to effectively resolve conflicting priorities, poor communication, role prejudice. Problems still unresolved and getting worse since I left based on conversations with folks still working there. Uncertain future of internal LOBs based on changes that will be driven by new Truist merger.

Pros

Some (stress only some) nice people. Good working environment. Hours are not that demanding. Good life/work balance.

Cons

Despite having $50 billion in AUM, it feels like working for a start-up but with no leadership. There are so many flaws with this company, which was cobbled together via multiple mergers/reorganizations, they are too many to list here. There is no executive management. BB&T (parent) could care less about Sterling. The company is a total joke by the standards of any other reputable asset manager and really has nothing to offer in today's environment where active management is challenged. Their fees are high. They have basically no strategy. Stay away from this mess unless really desperate.
