Pluspunten
401A contribution. Paid for CFP. Decent salary for ultra-minimal required skill set. Great place holder to pay the bills until 'the package' was offered and promptly accepted. Many good colleagues, but with under-utilized skills. Some cool middle managers. Not accountable to shareholders for public financial scrutiny. They got us pizza once in awhile.
Minpunten
Super-revolving door of sr. executives over the years which is comical when viewed end to end. Larger silos than the Parthenon. Nepotism and cronyism filling the ranks of middle, sr., and executive management. So poorly run they are hemorrhaging money which is being scooped up wholesale by other FS firms. More directors with no reports than any other FS company. Toxic DEI/woke obsessed culture crippling the progress and profitability of the company. A CEO who is a pale shadow of the former with respect to economic & financial market knowledge, leadership abilities, and oratory skills.
