Pros

Exposure to complex financial transactions and work across various disciplines, although this is more of a requirement than an opportunity.

Cons

Senior management is completely oblivious to the day to day functioning of the departments. There is very little exchange of ideas up the management chain. There is absolutely no work-life balance. Management has either no time or desire to help advance the careers of the staff. It's like prison without the meals.

The worst experince of my life, the employees are treated with disrespect.

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits were good, but could NEVER out way the stress level. Fellow employees are good, made some great lasting friendship.

Cons

The company does not respect employees who have spent their life building the company up to where it was. Hard work, dedication and experience is not rewarded. Chances for advancement are very slim without a masters degree. Very stagnant to improve oneself. With the economy the way it is today and jobs hard to come by employees are stuck and will have to take the unfairness until the economy changes. Then they will lose the employees that are working there for a paycheck and not because of loyalty to company. They seem to by interested in hiring temps to fill al the full-time positins they have let go. Guess it saves them money and they don't have to pay benifits.
