Pros

UBS is a large firm with good infrastructure and training to help you get started. If you're fresh into finance, UBS is one of the best places to get started. It's also one of the most women friendly banks that I've seen.

Cons

Large firm means you can get lost amongst the crowd. If you want to stand out you really need to be doing alot to get noticed. Conservative style of management/legal and compliance means alot of business opportunities may be let go, although the current mortgage back securities crisis doesn't seem to confirm this...

Pros

I learned a lot while interning here. The staff took time to get to know me. They each introduced me to different aspects of the business and their specific role,s which gave me great exposure to the business. They were flexible on hours and understanding when I had a family emergency in a way other employers have not been or did not need to.

Cons

Not a low-effort position, and could get overwhelming if you were not prepared.

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.
