Pros

Morgan Stanley honestly was a great experience for me. The brand name helped when it came to prospecting, and the manager at my branch was very honest about what to expect in this line of work.

Cons

The hours are long, but that's how it is if you want to make it in this industry. Your schedule revolves around your clients, but that is also something that was expected when I came on board.

Pros

Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

Cons

They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
