Pros

Competitive compensation package, good pension benefits, nice physical work environment.

Cons

After leaving the company for quite some time, I'm still haunted by the bad experience I had working there. So join this organization if you..... - Don't mind watching favortism practiced everyday and flowing through the performance appraisal process. - Are not affected by the "world class" politics that renders the organization disfunctional. - Don't get discouraged when you see individuals in your management's posse get promoted and protected though they are incompetent and in some cases uneducated. - Are not afraid that your own strong performance will inevitably motivate your colleagues (especially those who are incompetent) to step up their efforts to take you out at the knees. - Can't be shaken by treats coming from individuals in senior management or HR when you provide honest feedback. - Don't mind getting just lip service when you well exceed your performance objectives year after year. - Don't care that senior management has a narrow minded view of diversity. - Don't mind having an extremely bad work experience that will erode your self confidence for years to come.

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.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
