Pros

Good benefits and compensation. if in main office generally a good culture to work. good place to work as a woman

Cons

Unless in the Investments or Finance departments, everyone else is an after thought. There used to be a sense of team company-wide but it has been disappearing outside of aforementioned departments. managers either not aware or dont want to know about the company's issue with race where no people of color are hired in positions that allows for growth.

Pros

Promotions are great for articulate, sharp, WASP males in this company. WASP have inherent advantages in client facing roles, and access to top management. Access means they personally get to know you and invite you into their "private life". This benefit is not accrued to those who do not fit this profile. Senior management protects top talent.

Cons

None for WASP males from pedigree schools such as the ivy league. Others who came with the Fremont acquisition that do not have the academic pedigree were likely shown the door.
