Need to improve a few things for admins growth

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Strong stable company, not afraid of it going out of business. Salaries are probably higher than outside the industry.

Cons

HQ is located in Weehauken, right next to Lincoln Tunnel. A nightmare commute for anyone not living in Jersey City. If I'm going to deal with that traffic, I'd just as soon go into NYC and make more money. Also, they need to improve telecommuting. Not sure how they'll attract young talent with outdated ideas of a workplace.

Business Outlook

Pros

Professional organisation with generally high quality employees.

Cons

Very low cohesiveness in the organisation. Managers more working against each other. Very few career progression opportunities with not support from HR to develop career across functions and businesses.

Pros

The people you'll work with are good people. Decent work/life balance.

Cons

Pay is not good unless you are a "chosen one." Managers don't want to rock the boat, they won't stick their neck out and push the business forward. Since your pay is not tied to what you really accomplish for most people, there's not a whole lot of incentive to push the business forward. You just get worn down and ultimately accept that not much is going to change. If you want to grow and develop, you can only do so much of that @ UBS. Oh, also, health insurance there is very costly.
