Pros

Many dedicated hardworking employees who are willing to commit what it takes to accomplish the right thing for their clients. Company is in the middle of changes to improve although the improvements remain to be seen.

Cons

New senior management that doesn't hire internally for senior positions and cannot differentiate between committed vs. uncommitted employees; not all of the investment teams are firing on all cylinders.

Smart co-workers, good salary and benefits, great location, financially sound, reasonable work/life balance

Cons

Current lack of strategic direction. No CEO. Parent company (NY Life) exerting greater control and influence over day-to-day operations. Eliminated entire US equity division in 2009.
