Cons
There are so many things wrong with State Street. 1. A starting salary of $32,000 is abysmally low. My friend's manager has been with the company for 12ish years and is stuck just above $50,000. 2. The training is a mixed bag. The in class training you receive when you start is actually very well done, and taught by very capable teachers. Unfortunately, it hardly prepares you for the floor. Training on the floor is downright horrendous. You'll be taught one thing, and then five minutes later they'll change their procedures and tell you you're doing it wrong. Furthermore, many of the employees don't have accounting backgrounds so they know how to press the buttons but they can't really tell you what you're doing. 3. Typical corporate douchebaggery. 4. You don't get lunch breaks. You do when you start. Then they go away. Pretty sure that's illegal.
