Excellent, Professional Company But Needs to More Proactively Promote and Train Women Employees

Senior registered client service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Busy, challenging, dynamic working environment. Professional yet supportive. Company on the right track with excellent client focus and streamlining of processes.

Cons

Women are almost exclusively in support positions at the branch level. Probably less than 1% of brokers are women.

Opportunity amongst chaos

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart people, worldwide reach. Tremendous amount of opportunity throughout the globe. Hard to compare current compensation practices given the bonus meltdown happening throughout the industry. Employees, particularly those with ambition, are generally well respected. Huge upside on current stock price - doesn't help those with underwater stock otions though.

Cons

Trouble focusing on mission - can't decide if it is a high end wealth manager or a retail shop. Difficulty communicating overall big picture to field. Morale is very low at the field level, although it tends to improve as you move up the pay scale (the slashed bonuses will have an impact there).

Boring place to work hard

Research analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

career ops etc, known brand, friendly HR well in the beginning atleast.

Cons

too much time at work, not respected among banks, general chaos of the last two years, lack of communication, waste of talent. There is no point in working 20 hour days when you actually do nothing. The value placed on face time is a bit silly. Morale was generally low, people leaving or being fired, code of conduct is just rubbish, and the coffee is awful. bad sandwiches too, not that those stayed very long.
