Pros

Downtown Location, a few good people, a few good intentions. They are trying to build a good community.

Cons

Office politics, poor middle management. Other parts of UBS are intentionally trying to make the Nashville location 'fail'. Many

Pros

Good benefits and good pay. The position I was in would have been great if I was planning on trying to become a trader. They also send you to New York for training.

Cons

Very, very long hours. High turn over and not much room for growth. At least not on the team I was on. Our management team also had a significant amount of turnover, which caused a lot of confusion as to who we should be reporting to and who we ultimately answered to.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Newly renovated facilities - Good work/life balance - Good company as a whole, looks great on your resume

Cons

- No upward mobility, almost exclusively hires externally - Salary is embarrassingly low, no bonus - Incredibly unprofessional work environment (i.e. profanity, open conversations about personal relations with other employees) - The entire purpose for the firm bringing operations to Nashville was to be able to pay dumb southern workers half what they paid the staff in Jersey - Management is from before UBS made a push to invest in Nashville, so they're grossly under-qualified - Quality of product suffering, so the firm is backtracking and hiring half of Goldman Sachs to come in and clean up the mess.
