Ameriprise – “Still a good place to work, after 17 years.”

Pros

Great people, a sense of mission, and a real concern for clients. Focus on ethical behavior. Minimal BS from most (not all) leaders.

Cons

Sometimes the maverick is not as appreciated as we mavericks might like! Diversity is seen as primarily a function of ethnicity and skin color, not as a function of different ways of thinking.
