Pros – I've heard from people in sales departments how wonderful they have it. Liberal tuition reimbursement, days off when stock market is closed.

Cons – I worked in an operations area, and we were treated like 3rd class people. Bonuses were tiny compared to sales staff, and the management was horrible. They openly played favorites, and complaints to HR about harassment by managers was ignored.

Former Employee – worked at Raymond James Financial full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – RJF has had little exposure to the financial plague and potentially could grow while many other financial companies are suffering.

Cons – The culture of RJF is very departmental. It often makes it difficult to talk about it wholistically. Many areas have a poor work/life attitude. Overall RJF is still trying to catch up with its size. A number of its computer networks and departments have difficulties coordinating.
RJF gave me a great opportunity to grow my career however there is a glass door (experienced by most) if you do not have an Ivy League Degree.

Current Employee – been working at Raymond James Financial full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – I love the company, our clients and the people I work with over the phone at the home office. I run the office and am the only admin person here, so I am basically my own boss.

Cons – My boss! (I can't go into detail due to the rules on posting reviews.) I am sure that most Branch Mgr.s are great people though. Mine is just that "one in a million".
