Pros

I was a duel employee of Smith Barney and Citibank. Good base salary and had my own office...

Cons

Zero communication between departments. The company is too big to handle itself. As the write downs were taking place upper management assured us everything was fine and that our department "MyFi" was in great shape and growing. Its now defunct and Smith Barney is owned by Morgan Stanley. Someone wasn't telling the truth.

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
