Pros

Flexible working hours Remote working (only after covid) Nice offices

Cons

- bad management and politics in a toxic environment: everyone from employees to managers keep complaining about everything, trying to find the fault in others instead of improving; proactivity is not welcome here - obsolete technology (15+ years): even if there is motivation to migrate to a newer technology, they succeed only by crippling it and using it as incorrectly as possible, e.g: Agile rollout taking months or even an year, you keep working more on old workarounds than on new solutions. - remote work is degrading due to the continuous disservices with the providers used - don't trust anyone: the new recruits have been hunted as if in a poisoned game - work/human ethic no longer exists: hide as much as possible and work as little as possible

Pros

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Cons

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
