Advice to Senior Management
be open towards employees
Pros
It is comfortable work environment and easy culture. Benefits are good. Flexible commute and work from home policy is available to most of employees.

It does not give much chance to vertical growth. You will be at where you started after five years from now.
Advice to Senior Management
please make the salaries comparable to market and allow telented people to grow instead of just inner golden circle of management.
Pros
Work life balance. They respect your time when you need it off.
Friendly managers and coworkers.
Employees are willing to help.
Cons
Low compensation.
No recognition for work.
No job growth opportunities.
Opportunities are given to who you know, who management likes and not who deserves them.
Not an organized company, they take things as they come, especially when there are acquisitions. Do not have a good strategy in place.

Recognize and reward good workers.

Little or no communication with senior management
If you are looking for a fast paced and challenging environment, please skip this place.

Try to listen to new ideas. Either retrain the incompetent people or cut them out.
Make compensation comparable to industry level.
Pros
It's a good place to get into the finance industry and gain experience in some ms technologies; the company always provide the latest dev tools.
Cons
Not much real technological innovation is happening here. Too many teams competing with each other, all doing the same thing over and over again.
Advice to Senior Management
Would be good to speak to some individual team members more frequently instead of just checking the mood of employees via internal surveys, which often dont result in people speaking out their true feelings.

usually, you don't need to work over time.
Cons
it's cold when they ask people to leave

Advice to Senior Management
They should lead with more positive approaches to get the results they want from there employees and also create a more safer, non hostile and more professional working environment for there employees. Make sure everyone is treated as part of the team and demolish favoritism of any kind. Promotions and recognition should be based on an employee's work performance and not on how well they are liked.
Pros
Great place to work, people are very intelligent and open to helping out. Benefits and pay are good. Leader in the Transfer Agent industry
Cons
Have to play the political game to move up in the company. Too many locations and divisions which makes it hard to offer an integrated solution to our clients.
Advice to Senior Management
Make an effort to have better communication with your employees and in between locations and divisions. Overall doing a very good job considering the company size.
Pros
Lots of training and ok pay.
Cons
No room for growth in fact its clear that if you get stuck in this call center you will die there. The head of HR in this office is a mess. She only cares about the "big bosses" and couldn't care less about the average employee. Management doesn't listen to suggestions or anything else. The place is a gray warehouse they turned into a call center with LOW morale. I feel bad for the great friends I made here and left behind because they are stuck in He**. Micro management rules and the Quality team is a joke made up of reps who fail their own quality screening and never should have gotten the positions. This is more like a day care for adults then a career.
Advice to Senior Management
Open your eyes! Some people are an asset to the company. Recognize them and there years of experience and take care of them, promote them, don't just stick them on the phone doing the same jobs you have temps do! Understand the abilities of your staff and use them to the fullest also get rid of dead weight, some people just dont get IT!
