      Pros

      Nice big diversified company. Long standing history and deep rooted in the american financial institute. Lots of online resources for employees.

      Cons

      Lack of transparency. Awful corporate culture. Super depressing - Think Initech from Office Space. Lots of labels on staplers. Lack of forward thinking. Looming layoffs and upper management is acting shady.

      Overworked and low pay

      Pros

      Stable company, cares about it reputation and the companies growth.

      Cons

      Management styles vary and if you are not lucky, get on the wrong team or under the wrong manager you may be doomed. The pay structure has recently changed making this huge company one of the lowest paying companies around for the same position anywhere else. I had gotten a promotion and due to the pay structure change received no increase in pay but I was working 3 times at hard. It is very difficult to move up, you really have to be impressive or be someone's favorite. Also, work life balance used to be a major point but not any longer just do what management wants and be quick about it.

      Pros

      Truly care about their clients and provide a conducive environment for success. Benefits are employer matching on 401k is decent.

      Cons

      Seem that management has forgotten about their employees and is only focused on stockholders. Company has consolidated all of its existing sales channels to then be sold to another firm. Lack of concern for their employee is the biggest con.
