Uncertainty regarding Smith Barney's ultimate fate. The rumor mill was rampant. Encourage others to stay informed as employees are often the last to know.

mobility, access to a lot business, and great work culture. Get to meeting a lot of smart people withing the industry

Cons

Red tape, not competitive salary, and a lot of work hours. Working culture varies from org to org, so it is key to be in the right group.

Advice to Senior Management

Reduce red tape, empower employeer, get managers who can manager and lead, and not those who just have work experience.

Pros

Good Benefits, but can be quite expensive when compared to other employers. Vacation and disability plans are excellent. The company promotes growth for its employees, but can be hard to get noticed in such a large environment.

Cons

Management can be arrogant as some think they know everything. Ego's are pretty big which leads to the arrogance. Some managers from prior mergers lead by "stating the obvious" with no real guidance or solutions. Promotions are based on who is on the promotion committee that year and who is plugging for you. Too political of an atmosphere. No wonder they almost went under.

Advice to Senior Management

Get rid of the arrogant management as they can't lead the company no matter how smart they think they are. Get back to basics. Some of the mergers in the past should not have happened with Citigroup. Keep brokerage and banking separate. It doesn't work!

Benefits, day care, stable, many different job opportunities

no training, mid managers with poor management skills

Advice to Senior Management

choose better mid managers and increase training
