Pros

Excellent product training and benefits. Top notch facilities. Good tools for customer presentations, etc. Opportunities for management if that is your goal. Corporate seems focused on improving product offerings.

Cons

Higher overhead expenses and lower payout ratios compared to some other financial companies. Culture is more revenue oriented than customer focused. High turnover and inexperienced management. Too many staff meetings.

Pros

Solid pay and benefits package. For young talent, there are great opportunities for exposure to senior leadership, of you push yourself and show initiative.

Cons

As others mentioned, some departments are top-heavy and it is a very bureaucratic system, which makes getting a project done, no matter how small, a huge undertaking. IT systems are very slow and outdated, but there are never enough resources to update.

Pros

History, brand, reputation, products, providing a comprehensive one-stop solution for clients.

Cons

Technology needs to be updated. Executive management has placed to much focus on the bottom line and no emphasis on driving top line numbers. Expense cuts have drastically reduced our infrastructure and support.
