Pros

Centrally located in midtown Manhattan, competitive salary, generous retirement plan (but that's changing).

Cons

There is an increasing distrust of Senior and Executive Management. They play favorites when handing out promotions, and they are becoming dishonest. They say one thing, but do another, and it's all designed to benefit them with regards to compensation, while they look for every means possible to reduce compensation and benefits for non managerial employees. They're putting a lot of effort into consolidating the wealth of the company at the very top, at the expense of the non managerial employees.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.
