Vantaggi

Good Benefits and compensation, excellent diversity. Many opportunities to learn and help fix things. Training is available for self starters, on site health care. They are trying to improve things. Met many good and knowledgeable people. I believe most employees are doing the best the can within their roles, training and political constraints.

Svantaggi

Application environment is fragile and fragmented after many years of change to business processes after which many knowledgeable people were let go and replaced by clueless contractors. In reaction an agile scrum devops approach was implemented and is driving massive change which creates instability in the environment. Management levels are under pressure to deliver new features while also improving reliability. For some teams in IT there is little or no work life balance. There is too high a dependence on contractors/contingent workers. Environment can be chaotic when things go wrong. Politics drives the wrong behavior at times.

Vantaggi

Good starting salary and benefits package.

Svantaggi

The longer you’re there, the more of an expectation that you work more for the same or less income. Producers find it hard to justify staying when leadership keeps moving the goal posts on how to increase income. No rhyme or reason as to how they decide “promotions.” One advisor might have one good year and get promoted over an advisor that produces year in and year out. They fail to share revenue because they’d have a hard time justifying the income level compared to outside advisors with a fraction of the book size. They claim and depend on brand recognition to justify a capped income but fail, or just won’t admit that is why they keep losing their top talent. Operations is a nightmare that I can’t even begin to describe. When I share the processes that have been in place for over a decade, colleagues in the industry shake their head and laugh. They can’t believe we earn and keep business. The saying while I was there was “the biggest threat we face is that TIAA clients start to explore their options outside of TIAA.”
