Pros

Job security for the most part. Job security used to be incredible until new CEO came in. Financial services benefits. Reputable company.

Cons

-Work life balance is horrible. Overtime must be approved in advance - so staying to finish up your days work (when your boss has gone home) is unpaid. -Numbers are your only performance drivers now so things like volunteer work and going above and beyond don't matter. -Performance awards now decided by district level - people who don't even work with you. -Career movement potential is limited. Even with excellent performance ratings my biggest raise was $1000. -Recognition is nearly non-existent -You are expected to fit into a template and do the job that way rather than working with people which is what we do

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.

Top heavy management. Culture values heavy politicking. Low bonuses.
