Pros

Good people with a comfortable work environment

Cons

Management is poor, lacking vision and the ability to work with you. Not long before they will be sold off to another financial institution and changes will unfold. Lower salary compared to other firms.

Pros

Salaries are on the high end of scale compared to remaining industries in Switzerland. As a global player, there are a lot of opportunities to gain international experience and further your career.

Cons

Greed and lack of respect for employees are the predominant factors in the corporate culture. Performance review process and talent management programs are not transparent and hence of little true value.

Pros

UBS has a strong brand Can get licensed (Series 7, 66) Easy work and 8:30-5:30 hours Most co-workers are enjoyable and young

Cons

Horrible work environment, no room to grow and horrible pay. Morale is extremely low. This is a call center and is the bottom of the barrel at UBS. The Investment Center takes everyone's trash and management is full of Yes-Men who offer no value. As a CSA your work is mundane and boring you gain no transferable skills and if you get promoted to a "Financial Advisor" you become a call center customer service rep. Management is a joke. They play favorites, do not reward hard work and are unprofessional. Days go by without your work getting approved or processed by the operations manager. If you do not agree with management they will hold a grudge. Management will also make it difficult for you to make any type of internal transfer within UBS. Management will be very spiteful and make sure you do not leave. No one cares about clients. The Investment Center is around to just collect fees. No discount, nothing waived.
