Business outlook
Pros
Reputation of firm, name recognition, global presence, research capabilities, expansive investment platforms, diversity of investment options, personal practice autonomy, opportunity for teamwork, good associate training program
Cons
Lack of corporate culture (product of merger), inefficient management/decision making structure, loss of true client service responsibility over sales (this is a con of the industry as a whole, not just MSSB), limited opportunity for advancement, while there is opportunity for teamwork I for one do not feel like it is encouraged enough.
