Thrown to the deep end
Pros: -Negotiated a good salary during interview
-Good coworkers, but there was some disgruntlement from tenured employees who felt "stuck" and overworked
-Great benefits, ie 401k, health, dental, profit sharing, etc
-If you had worked there for a while, it could be pretty stable depending on your position and responsibilities
Cons: -No training or on-boarding program!!!
-Apparently my department went through LEAN a couple years ago, and they passed over internal promotions to hire externally
-Disgruntled and overworked employees
-Apathetic upper management
-Some internal strifes between certain teams and everyone looking out for themselves
-Came down harshly on "rookie" mistakes
-Constant layoffs and restructuring, at least with Custody Middle office Operations in Dallas, TX - the whole department was soon shuttered and relocated back to NY soon after I separated from the firm
-Disorganization in roles, titles and what team is actually supposed to handle certain tasks
