Pros

average salary, decent benefits that start day one, used to have good reputation, a firm with cache, has long term future for who remains with firm.

Cons

gov't bailout, loss of reputation, having to sell one piece of citigroup that makes money (smith barney), mgt. not honest with rank and file, they chose to only tell you what they want you to know. HR is a joke. The systems in this place are crazy, it is a hodgepodge of different systems for bonds, stocks and mutual funds. I mean they still have paper after hours tickets, I mean who still has that.

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
