Pros

Good pay, benefits, bonus, etc...

Cons

You earn it by enduring poor management, blameshifting, blatant and contiuous lies, and all around terrible atmosphere to be in. If you enjoy working woth the bottom of the barrel personalities that see everyone around them as a scapegoat for when they make yet another horrible decision, then this place is for you. For everyone else, the pay does not make up fo the environment you will be thrown into... I stayed long enough to see 47 people, including the CEO, break and say its just not worth it and leave. I finally chose the same after realizing nothing I would do would change or positively impact this cesspool - and I've appreciated my next job *SO* much because of this one .... so perhaps that's a backhanded Pro for this.. who's to say?

Pros

Decent, quiet compliance department for other teams, excluding the Investment Advisory. Junior staff were normal and fun to work with. Though, bare minimum interactions amongst different compliance team members.

Cons

This person is horribly incompetent, arrogant, a know-it-all, and the worst human being I've ever met. There's been high turnover over the years, and new hires left within 6 months of starting, before I joined the team. This person adopts an aggressive tone and behavior and badmouths other staff, including the mentee, whom this person named in front of the team. This person retracted the agreements after I joined the firm, made between HR and me, established prior to the job offer. This person will put you on the spot publicly to undermine your image. Simply put, a miserable person who creates a miserable environment for all of us to share in their daily misery. When I got the offer, two friends who used to work under the leader warned me to decline it. According to inside information from some of those I still keep in touch with, nothing has changed, and the position has not been filled since. This person monitors your presence at the desk by pinging you on Team every half an hour to have you acknowledge that you're there. The leader is so insecure that this person elevates oneself by putting people down.
