Pros

Best in class marketing. Training and development for new sales positions is first rate. Those that are politically adept can make a lot of money. Still some good people left. Resources in some positions are almost unlimited.

Cons

Concur with comments regarding dysfunctional management. Promotions are political, not merit based. Investment performance is not the focus. This is an asset gatherer, not manager. Management will say one thing and do another frequently. Current CEO is a deal maker and looks to be setting up for a sale of the company. This means anyone that is client facing is in a good position, but those in the background are not.

Pros

AB is a solid mid-sized company with a really good work-life balance. The culture is friendly and supportive.

Cons

Compensation is relatively lower compared to larger firms, especially big tech or larger financial institutions.
