    Franklin Resources Anonymous:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    Access to resources is great
    For the most part, its a very collegial environment
    Not a high stress environment - the markets are stressful enough!

    Cons

    Limited feedback on employee performance
    Weak day to day employee management
    Not a very dynamic environment
    a bit too laid back at times

    Advice to Senior Management

    Focus more on employee feedback
    Encourage more interaction between the various groups at Franklin. There's tons of intellectual capital and little sharing across teams
