Pros

average salary, decent benefits that start day one, used to have good reputation, a firm with cache, has long term future for who remains with firm.

Cons

gov't bailout, loss of reputation, having to sell one piece of citigroup that makes money (smith barney), mgt. not honest with rank and file, they chose to only tell you what they want you to know. HR is a joke. The systems in this place are crazy, it is a hodgepodge of different systems for bonds, stocks and mutual funds. I mean they still have paper after hours tickets, I mean who still has that.
