Svantaggi
It used to be a staple in the community and a steady place of work. Unfortunately, as the company grew, long term employees became just a number, easy to replace and overworked. I was an employee for 15 years and oversaw billions of dollars on a daily basis, but wage raises were hard to come by, never kept up with inflation or added responsibilities. Moreover, when “diversity at management levels” became a priority, the person I trained as an intern became my direct manager (promoted 5 times in two years), solely based on racial bias. I got paid to leave upon taking the company to court over this matter, so I can’t disclose more. I was going to leave anyway, for both personal and professional reasons (I just wasn’t fond of their practices - both in regards to their clients and employees). I used to love working for SSB; now I just thank them for generously contributing to my early retirement.
