Pros

Salary and Benefits. Location. A sense of pride for being associated with the company.

Cons

Not playing nice in the sandbox. Back stabbing, wag-the-dog, and plenty of 'political theatre' resulting in gross cost inefficiencies and thwarted delivery of much needed results. Threatened (and unqualified) mid-tier management usurping large amounts of time and credit on extremely complex initiatives, then simultaneously not taking responsibility and muscling out the talent driving results. Measurable program results thwarted by crossfire: programs must 'run surveillance' to protect work. All the makings of a good Robert Ludlum novel; but not exactly thrilling when in the middle of it. On a different note, the company is caught up in own, yes formidable, history. This history, however grand, is past.

Pros

Great work life balance, good benefits, decent pay, ease of running your own practice as an “advisor”, and healthy work environment

Cons

Management styles can vary and affect your experience, upper management doesn’t seem to be well equipped to ensure the organization’s success but it is resilient nonetheless.

Pros

Compensation is great for advisors once they are promoted to VP. Everyone else has to wait a year and hope for a good rating that's more of a game than merit based

Cons

Woke culture, reverse discrimination, very frustrating to do business with as a client
