Business Outlook
Pros
The typical employee is smart and hard working. There is a good opportunity to learn from others. Compensation and benefit package is good. Good place to establish a strong professional network. Despite recent events Morgan Stanley is still well perceived when compared to other companies.
Cons
The recent market turmoil is keeping many people on edge. This isn't good for productivity or morale. This tough times will pass, but it is unlikely that the financial rewards will ever match previous ones. Despite that it can still be a rewarding place to work. Work hours are long. Promotions are difficult to achieve as it is a very competitive environment.
