Pros

Make sure you get into the right team where the manager is respected and the team is welcoming and positive. UBS is known to have cultural issues across generations, gender and internal ranking system.

Cons

You are expected to work long hours "that's what you sign up for", take meeting calls at all hours and then be docked annual leave for medical appointments. If you are studying or have evening lectures, managers will make it difficullt for you. There have been wage freezes across UBS for several years, cheaper employees are brought across from support teams without pay increases. They churn through interns to save costs (higher bonuses for management).

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.
