Pros

The management in my department are very good and knowledgeable about what they do. They are open to questions.

Cons

Brokers rule this company and have very little reguard for company rules and GAAP (which as a publicly traded company is essential). Management does nothing to rein them in and then expects everyone else to jump through all these hoops in order to meet their unreasonable demands. The Brokers are also very unprofessional in how they interact and communicate with others within the company--but again, management wants us to overlook these things as they RULE. It is very hard to get a block of time off for holidays and you are actually expected to work most MAJOR holidays that other Fortune 500 companies grant to their employees. The culture of my department is the only thing that gives me a ray of hope but this company gets old fast!

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
