Pros

Well respected and stable financial services company that is committed to being conservative in their approach to business going forward.

Cons

1) "Some" in the SVP and higher ranks talk the talk but don't necessarily action on it. On a number of occassions I have observed executive tunnel vision to outstanding work by personnel and in other situations relatively little things receiving high praise and recognition. Seems to be a place where favorites are played. 2) Not necessarily a good business partner. In a true partnership a balance is found between 2 parties such that the resulting arrangement is mutually beneficial. I have observed questionable actions by executive management that were intended to unfairly take advantage of a partner.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
