Pros
Management invests a lot of resources and really cares about your success.
Cons
It is obviously a giant corporation, and every little thing has to go through multiple regulatory channels, and works against efficiency.
Advice to Management
Keep doing what you're doing

Pros
A really incredible company to work for. They really want to make sure employees are taken care of in every aspect. The environment is so welcoming and there is so much to learn. As a CSA in your first 2 years you make a base salary of $55,000 in my case. I am also eligible for over time as well which is a great plus! Great job right out of college and great way to get into a top bank.
Cons
Have not received a bonus this year which is surprising. The only thing I have received is $500 added onto one of my paychecks. This can be a tough job to grow in as most of these teams have people running them who have been around the firm for a long time. When they retire they typically hand their books over to the next oldest advisor on the team that isn't retiring.

Pros
Smart peers, good corporate culture. Decent work life balance (gets crazy sometimes but that's banking). Good benefit package/401K and good senior leadership.
Cons
Stingy/no raises and always get excuses on comp at end of year. Ops is constantly getting squeezed to do more with less (people and $$$).
Advice to Management
Invest in growth.
