      Not at all what I was sold on! - Financial Advisor Associate Morgan Stanley Employee Review

      Pros

      Paid Studying, potentially good name on your resume, pretty flexible time wise depending on your location, good benefits, Potential to learn a lot

      Cons

      Mgmt has no follow through, a lot of empty promises. if you aren't a self starter and can't bring money in immediately don't start at MSSB. The training program is a joke, you will be lucky to sit down with your manager at all during training, very unorganized, sink or swim mentality. Office dynamics can be very uncohesive, don't expect to hang out with people from work. don't expect any product training, and be okay with finding clients and then learning the job.

      Pros

      Very good co-workers, Great technology stack. Lot of new technologies and integration with current work.

      Cons

      They dont even give you a MS cup. They ask you to buy it for 5$. So cheap! Management big on "Giving back", Immediate managers do not like it and are not supportive. Lay off employees twice a year to show profits. Only worried about shareholders and clients. Don't know the criteria for lay-off. So, you are always worried if it is your turn. They boast about mental health and wellness. No good, when they layoff employees like this. HR = Horrible Resources. When you are laid off, they shoo you away as if you are a fly. You feel miserable. They themselves say - "We are better than Facebook or Oracle. We dont fire you at 6 AM over email." Gosh! What a comparison!
