Good place to start a career - Anonymous employee Morningstar Employee Review

While you can be proud of the company's mission, that doesn't mean Morningstar pays fairly compensates. I think they are on the low-end. This being said, the benefits are pretty good (until they cut a bunch of them) and this is why I think its a better place to work if you are just starting out. The benefits, like flexibility of schedule, are more important to younger people than to mid-level people looking to raise families in Chicago. The leadership at the top has made a lot of money on stock options, etc and this has left a gap of middle managers that are under-paid...and younger employees that are happy to have lots of flexibility in their schedule or getting school partly paid for.
