Pros

Office is close to home and located in one location instead of scattered around the community. Upper management communicates with the staff through town halls.

Cons

Currently management is a little one sided. Shows a lot of favoritism, does not take suggestions well. Uncertainty of job stability. Recognition awards are not standard across lines of business. Benefits used to be high on the list but the retirement policies keep changing and become increasingly more complicated. Insurance benefits change every year and are getting more difficult to understand. Starts programs but does not follow through for very long. Upper management is constantly changing and middle management continues to increase while the working staff is being eliminated causing additional stress on the staff. Departmental projects started but not completed.

Pros

Opportunities to move around within the company because it is so large. Lots of perks from deals with all sorts of vendors. Good software in place to get things done easily. Flip side is sometimes overly complicated compliance procedures due to wariness from 2000-02 downturn. Guess it wasn't enough considering what is now happening. There are some type A jerks there but that is the case at any financial firm. Overall it is a good experience, lots of good people there. I think they are going to have to change their model going forward just like Merrill, Morgan and the rest because they were clearly some of the biggest losers from the recent downturn.

Cons

Sometimes moves too slowly due to size.

Pros

Mobility, presence in 100 countries, potential for rapid career advancement, commitment of employees to company objectives. There is a very good Leadership Development program for business grads (undergraduate and MBA)...this will promote quick advancement if you are qualified and provide the opportunity for global travel for each of your rotations, three at 1- year each.

Cons

Too many reorganizations, frequent recruiting for key senior positions externally.
