Pros

The people are smart and friendly. The office environment is calm. Most positions have a steady eight hour day. Working on holidays or weekends is very uncommon.

Cons

Upward mobility is a little difficult. Depending upon what department you're in, you'll most likely have to wait for someone to retire or leave before a promotion opportunity becomes available.

Pros

-The operations team works from 7:30am - 4:00pm. Everyone is gone by 4:01pm. -CFA Reimbursement (up to 2 attempts per exam) -Holiday party

Cons

The company is very much divided between the investment team and everyone else. If you aren't part of the investment team, you're screwed. The pay is low with difficulty in getting raises along with single digit percentage for bonuses, I'm talking as low as $500. The operations team has been halved because HQ didn't want to pay Boston salaries. The management team are pre-acquisition so they have nice cushy salaries and bonuses. They won't do anything to rock the boat since they're all near retirement age. The health insurance is atrocious and god forbid you're a woman at this company. HQ considers itself to be a "religious" company so if you're looking for birth control in your health plan, get ready to pay a lot of money to get it. There is also little opportunity to move up so get the experience you need, maybe take the CFA, and go find something else.
