Pros

-Financial Advisor centric organization -Conveniently located to midtown Manhattan -Beautiful campus on the Hudson, good cafeteria and food court -A group of extremely talented, dedicated and hard working individuals in home office (IT and marketing organization in particular)

Cons

-Extreme cutbacks have made it impossible to stay current on IT, infrastructure and marketing -Senior management priorities change more frequently than I have ever experienced in my 20 year FS career. The outcome of this, has unfortunately had a severe impact on employee moral and unnecessary loss of project dollars and potential revenue
