Pros
1. Benefits - Everything you should expect from an employer in the Financials (for salaried employees - not sure otherwise) including at least three weeks vacation, Health, Dental, Life, AD&D, Disability, 401k partial match, Legal, etc. 2. Online training development - Intranet site has a vast amount of internet based training that you can take at any time across a broad spectrum of subjects from Java programming to foreign exchange lending.
Kontras
1. Possible Layoffs at any time 2. Multiple years without any type of salary increase and/or bonus regardless of company or personal performance. 3. Location - a 15 minute ferry ride from NYC or just outside the Lincoln Tunnel so the commute can be brutal. There is also an additional fee for parking - $40-50 per month.
