Pros

Ayco is a good opportunity for right-out-of-college graduates. You are able to complete various industry exams and the amount of paid time off is generous. For those who care about the community, there are many ways to volunteer.

Cons

The marginal utility gained from staying at Ayco quickly deteriorates after a year or two. Annual compensation adjustments barely move the needle and you should expect no more than a pat on the back for passing exams, developing a skill set, or getting promoted. This results in a work environment marked by turnover and low morale.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
