Pros

Internal mobility is one of the best reasons to come and stay at UBS. I"ve moved around quite a bit and seen my compensation grow exponentially, even through the various financial crises. I've lived in London for a couple years and have traveled to Singapore and Zurich during my time with UBS.

Cons

Swiss culture/mindset is very different than the US, as is the wealth management culture (incl. WMA) vs. the investment bank. This can be incredibly frustrating.

Pros

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Cons

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
