Pros

Smart people and learn a lot. The training is excellent as well. Lots of high profile work with top level clients.

Cons

Lots of hours. Lots of useless work that gets throw away. Inability to take time off when you want. You are at the mercy of the company.

Pros

Exposure to myriad aspects of investing, good training, supportive culture, good work/life balance. Town Hall meetings allowed employees to feel updated, and the MS Today home page helped to "shrink" the size of the organization and make it feel more local.

Cons

Challenges typical to very large organizations -- efficiency can suffer b/c of many layers. Comp not always competitive relative to smaller firms focused on just one area of investing (PE, hedge funds, asset management).

Pros

Joined Smith Barney because they were highly regarded in the wealth management arena. The medical benefits are fantastic. Senior management highly regarded in financial world,

Cons

Manager promised the world in terms of training and compensation, none of which came to fruition. The training was laughable with NO product training, the support at branch level ceases to exist and when looking for help from a more tentured advisor, they turn you down.
