Pluspunten

It's a huge company, so if you decide to move to another state, you may be able to do the same job in a different office. They'll sometimes pay for software training classes if you ask. Since there are so many employees, you're bound to make friends (which is definitely a bonus if you're new to an area). There are employee morale events happening all the time -- bagels/muffins/donuts in honor of birthdays and anniversaries each month, support staff day, an awards banquet (you win cash with most of the awards!), a fancy holiday party, bank holidays are off at CB (MLK Day, President's Day, etc.), the day before a long weekend the office usually closes two hours early.

Minpunten

It's a very formal work environment. If you're not a broker, you don't get much respect. Sales assistants work their tails off for meager inflation-adjustment wage increases and little thanks. It's a very structured place with a lot of rules, hierarchy, etc. The whole environment is intimidating. There's high turnover among the support staff. They have holiday decorating competitions, but only allow politically correct/watered-down decorations. And they hold their "holiday party" in January so they don't have to call it a Christmas party. Very P.C.

Pluspunten

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Minpunten

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
