Business Outlook

Pros

- Good introductory training - Opportunity for further training - Opportunity to advance relatively quickly into new roles - Some very intelligent/knowledgeable colleagues - Free Bloomberg Anywhere

Cons

- High percentage of colleagues are incompetent - Management induce a condescending culture and treat employees like children - Management seemingly spend countless hours devising new methods to irritate employees - Leadership roles are only offered to people who have no words in their vocabulary beyond 'yes, of course I can do that for you'... regardless of how ridiculous suggested request may be - Management bend over backwards for the sake of rigid, poorly designed metrics regardless on the impact of quality of service - Promotions are not remunerated immediately, you must await a pay review - Pay reviews are based on poorly designed metrics - Pay is extremely opaque for a firm that prides itself on transparency
