Pros
My Peers were really among the "best and the brightest." They have an amazing training system and a learning system which will alow you to take any course in their intranet you choose. They have anything and everything you might want to learn. They also have a great referral program which will earn you cash. They offer great benefits, unlimited sick leave, recognition for reaching goals and many opportunities if you would like to get involved in commmunity service.
Cons
There are many older people which refuse to get with the new generation and prefer to do things old school, which hinders getting the job done quickly (which is what you are always expected to do, everything is a fire-drill). They claim that they promote from within and fill most of their positions with people from within, but if you are more qualified than someone which has tenure for a position, dont even try to get it because they wont even consider you, until you have atleast a couple of years proving how good you are. Of course the 360 degree feedback they use virtually makes it impossible because regardless of how good you are there will always be 1 person that does not like you for whatever reason. And that when put up against brown-nosers will cause you to lose every time! Fake people thrive here. There are so many onder cover racist people. We had to pay 80.00/ month for garage parking. Many people were given the opportinity to become Senior Associates or Managers if they passed an exam that they were not given any time to study for. Also turn over is high among Associate, Senior Associates,a nd even Managers.

Pros
--Excellent benefits include medical-dental-eyewear, a transportation account, small employer contribution to a separate retirement fund, voluntary 401K, 22 vacation days and 2 personal days per year, etc. Staff is generally intelligent and hard-working, although most are not well-rounded and display a narrow focus of interests outside of the job and their family. --For newly-minted college grads with a financial background, it is good for the resume, and most leave for better jobs.
Cons
--Virtually none of the Staff, most with Accounting/Finance majors and backgrounds, understand the Firm's stupifyingly confusing and non-intuitive finance systems. They are not trained in it and leave most of the background financial work to be done by the Executive Assistants - none are CPAs and most do not have a college degree. Even most of the Staff who actually use the systems do not understand them; mistakes are rampant. --The Help Desk for general assistance has been outsourced to India; the Financial Help Desk has been outsourced to Uruguay. People in those groups are not members of the Firm, yet have access to our confidential and financial information and systems. --The Assistants are basically slaves, and they let you know it. The raises are poor, never even covering cost of living increases. Lying, competition, favoritism and back-stabbing at the Assistant level is a way of life. Morale has been in the basement for years owing to the lack of inclusion, but by now it is in the sub-basement.
