Pros

Opportunities to move around within the company because it is so large. Lots of perks from deals with all sorts of vendors. Good software in place to get things done easily. Flip side is sometimes overly complicated compliance procedures due to wariness from 2000-02 downturn. Guess it wasn't enough considering what is now happening. There are some type A jerks there but that is the case at any financial firm. Overall it is a good experience, lots of good people there. I think they are going to have to change their model going forward just like Merrill, Morgan and the rest because they were clearly some of the biggest losers from the recent downturn.

Cons

Sometimes moves too slowly due to size.

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
