Avantages
The potential opportunities that you have and the connections which are developed withing the company can be excellent. Their network and certain staff can be leveraged to provide truly excellent services to the clients. In some markets the knowledge and services provided are absolutely top rate, which connections which go to the highest levels of business. The brand name will open doors for you, although this has been declining in recent years.
Inconvénients
The lack of communication and cooperation between offices and business lines. The company seems to take pride in hiring below the industry average, and some of the middling management are reluctant to employ new staff which may be more talented then they are. Senior management seems a bit too divorced from the day to day workings; while this is to be expected, they should have more regular interaction which would help them to understand the depth of feelings which some of the business lines have towards the middle management.
