Pros

TRP matches a % of what you contribute to your 401k. Healthcare is Aetna, which is ok for me. I don't have a family on my plan, so I can't speak to the family plans and how well it works out for others.

Cons

Pay is not keeping up with SOL and inflation, but we should be happy with what we get. If you need time off, some groups are more flexible than others in allowing it, even if you've got a lot to take. There is little appreciation shown to most, unless you're a C-level manager. Work/Life balance varies across departments and despite rising costs of childcare, after being home for the last two years, everyone has been required (unless you're not vaxxed) to come back to the office 2-3 days a week. There is no consideration for those who want to remain working from home full-time, even though work has carried on just fine the last two years with everyone doing that. We are told folks WANT to come back, and if that's even true - all are being forced to do so. It's been a rough couple months and morale is low.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
