I have been working at Northern Trust

Pros – Stable place to work, good management and pay is reasonable compared to competitors. Office facilities and morale are generally good

Cons – Training is poor to non-existent, meaning employees stagnate in their job roles and cannot progress. Not enough long-term thinking by management.

Advice to Senior Management – Invest in training to build for future. Do more to keep employees happy and be slightly less conservative in overall strategy

I worked at Northern Trust

Pros – There aren't too many, nice building, nice enough people, pretty safe in terms of you may never lose your job during the credit crunch,

Cons – It's for average performers because it's not a meritocracy. One usually progresses based on time worked. It can take up to 12 years for a half decent promotion, and that's to another average position. Not really a place for self starters who want to move fast through the chain. Also there are way too many job titles & the structure is very very very unflat - i.e. lots of AVPs, VPs, etc. No matter what you do, you will find yourself at the bottom of an extremely long food chain.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop with the Diversity Awareness. We all know you just don't want to be sued.
