Pros

They are extremely flexible in letting separate departments manage time of their employees. They have a great reputation in the marketplace both on the asset servicing side and the asset management side. They even offer a flex time program allowing for one day off every two weeks when working an additional half hour every day. Furthermore, they recently offered a continuing education program where they will pay for up to 18 credits towards education related to an employee's position. Finally, some of the niche investment groups work with some of the best names in their respective business. Well regarded employer in the Pittsburgh area.

Cons

Depending on your department, there are many managers that have worked there for decades so it can be difficult to progress in your career. Furthermore, due to banking being a very regulated business, compliance has a say in every aspect of a department's business.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
