Little intrinsic motivation & employees not valued

Sourcing manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries are on the high end of scale compared to remaining industries in Switzerland. As a global player, there are a lot of opportunities to gain international experience and further your career.

Cons

Greed and lack of respect for employees are the predominant factors in the corporate culture. Performance review process and talent management programs are not transparent and hence of little true value.

Pros

UBS has a strong brand Can get licensed (Series 7, 66) Easy work and 8:30-5:30 hours Most co-workers are enjoyable and young

Cons

Horrible work environment, no room to grow and horrible pay. Morale is extremely low. This is a call center and is the bottom of the barrel at UBS. The Investment Center takes everyone's trash and management is full of Yes-Men who offer no value. As a CSA your work is mundane and boring you gain no transferable skills and if you get promoted to a "Financial Advisor" you become a call center customer service rep. Management is a joke. They play favorites, do not reward hard work and are unprofessional. Days go by without your work getting approved or processed by the operations manager. If you do not agree with management they will hold a grudge. Management will also make it difficult for you to make any type of internal transfer within UBS. Management will be very spiteful and make sure you do not leave. No one cares about clients. The Investment Center is around to just collect fees. No discount, nothing waived.

Good place to get trained and get your licenses. Tough places to develop your business.

Pros

UBS puts a lot of money into training you and helping you get your licenses.

Cons

After you are licensed and done with training you are pretty much on your own. Cold call all day, everyday. This can only work if you come in and partner with a senior broker or if you are very well connected and can get lots of referrals.
