Pros

A few nice people, location is central in DFW, nice facility, not much else to say about this company. Over pay most employees, but there is a price to your career.

Cons

The interview process is long and tedious, expect to spend half a day at least and most of it in a room alone. They want you to interview with everyone but then no one has time for you. They want employees to have all kinds of education but when you get in you better act like a high school drop out and fall in line. There is no work life balance at this organization. They regularly call you at home evenings and weekends or while on vacation. Everyone is looking out for themselves, blame is the name of the game here. No team work to speak of. Every department is looking to cast blame on another department. If you're stuck holding the problem be prepared for a world of hurt. Employees are fired quickly here, don't expect a write up, just an escort out the door. Say good bye to technology, this company works in a time before computers. Carbon paper forms still exist here and with each form comes many many signatures. Good luck finding people authorized to sign the forms. Everything you attempt to do in a day takes 10 times longer then any other place you've worked at in the last 15 years.

Pros

Interesting work in a niche area of finance.

Cons

Nothing out of the ordinary for a company of this size (tight budgets, lean resourcing, etc...)
