Pros

Great benefits package, a good place to get your foot in the door in the financial services industry. The company has been around a long time and have remained true to their core values and conservative nature in the investment industry. Before the economic meltdown, there were many opportunities to move around the firm and I'm sure those doors will open up as things get better. Even with the current economic situation, the company still promotes employee self growth through behavior learning and hard skills training classes.

Cons

Compensation is on the low end and the great benefits package they tout aren't that valuable if your young, healthy and don't have a family. Its absurd that a company of this size doesn't offer free gym membership to the on site fitness center.

Advice to Senior Management

Communication between groups seems to be lacking, stronger lines of communication between groups would lead to more work efficiency.
