Pros
This review is specifically for CAS - Complex Asset Solutions. It's a filler job during a bad economy. Keep your head low and collect the checks until something better along comes. Compensation does not vary much whether you are an all-star or an under performer, so it doesn't make a difference, although they would not want to have you believe that. Drink their kool-aid or face the only management tool that they have , which is to make up something about your performance an issue you a warning on your review or what they call a PIP. Read up on your psychology texts on your spare time and try to diagnose the psychosis of the management. That was educational.
Cons
People are treading water and there is no wanting to improve. Pay is low. Moral is low. This group is run by ex bear stearns managers who if you know their culture is antiquated and backward. If you want to work like a banker in the 90s early 2000s and not get paid, then you belong here. Don't believe what anyone says to you - read up sociopaths and be prepared to see some masters at work.
