Pros

Great work/ life balance. Heavy emphasis on promoting from within so once you get your foot in the door, you can move to a position in almost any part of the company. People tend to be very courteous and easy to get along with.

Cons

Compensation is not on the same level of other financial services companies. Lots of red tape can make it difficult to make even seemingly small changes.
