Morgan Stanley reviews

I was One employee with Four (4) Managers of varying levels. None of them knew how to communicate with each other and communication was our job! We were the Instructional Designers for the company. The VP in charge actually told us that she "...hated Instructional Design". I was threatened on many occasions for *not* putting in enough overtime. A Project Manager assigned to a very large project routinely had melt downs and would fire off the most unprofessional emails I have ever seen. The manager directly under the VP hid incompetence behind a flourish of words and policy (he was referred to as "The Black Hole" by his employees). In short, the entire experience was surreal! One employee in one department that BADLY needed to be scrapped and rebuilt - run by people who would actually care.

Pay may be lower than that of other companies (this may be offset by great work-life balance), my office is several states away from New York City, so advancement opportunities are nonexistent unless I were to relocate to NYC, and I am not relocating to that overpriced place unless my salary were to at least triple. Going from a customer-service business model to a hard-core telemarketing business model- this is causing significant turnover and eroding morale.
