Vantaggi

The firm can pay well if you are considered an "essential" employee. Very international team, and you certainly get the sense of working for a global firm.

Svantaggi

The heart of the firm is a Swiss Bank. Once you've been there a few years, you'll discover that all employees are not equal; Swiss are treated well, everyone else in the US is good for as long as you might be useful. The Risk Control area is undergoing stringent cost cutting at risk of creating problems for tomorrow (they are definitely cutting well below in Risk vs. US firms), and good senior folks are being shown the door, while Swiss employees replacing US personnel at all levels on expat contracts. Be very careful about being a senior hire here. HR has fired numerous employees for "cause", usually on trumped up charges in order to avoid paying out deferred compensation and severance. This place is only as good as your last direct deposit.

Vantaggi

Very minimal pros- you are working in a call center under managers with very little experience.

Svantaggi

Managers are useless. The greater organization refers to the Wealth Advice Center as the “WAC”… yes…. wack. It has a double meaning and the advisors on the ultra high net worth teams are known to make fun of this call center. Very unserious role.
