Learning and growth opportunities, management, benefits, and training. The workforce is very diverse, which supports teamworks and collaboration. Great work-life balance and flexible working arrangements.

Cons

At times there is not appropriate resources to complete assigned work. Annual performance appraisal and compensation review practices do not allow for sufficient management input.

Pros

Work/life balance was very good here, and many departments will allow remote working, or working from home. I was able to advance well in one of my two roles there, but part of this was because my starting salary was so far below the mean. I enjoyed networking within the firm and working on teams with diversity of assignments and team members. Benefits were great. Maternity and Paternity leave is awesome. Per my "thumbs up" rating below: if you want to learn and polish your skills working on many projects, across teams, and with great lower- and mid-level people (and the occasional star manager) this is a great place-- maybe as a place to start your career-- but keep a realistic expectation that it is hard to advance and move around, and the salary is often less than competitive.

Cons

HR head for Wealth Mgmt and Investment Institute was two-faced... would say something positive to employees and then say something else negative and critical to their managers. HR was a big machine that worked very hard to keep salaries "controlled." You better get what you want upon initial hire to company, or HR will suppress your salary throughout your time at WFII or WFWM, despite stellar performance. Hiring process took FOREVER. Entire process for low and mid-level roles took up to three months. Turnover was high for stellar employees, due to lack of salary growth, incompetent senior management and senior-level decision making that lacked common sense. Political culture was overwhelming and politically-motivated hires defied common sense. Seemingly-incompetent people given senior roles due to "tenure" or good political posturing. Company's awful, unethical practices in the Community Bank are impossible to ignore and this made it easier to leave the company.
