Good place to get trained and get your licenses. Tough places to develop your business.

Pros

UBS puts a lot of money into training you and helping you get your licenses.

Cons

After you are licensed and done with training you are pretty much on your own. Cold call all day, everyday. This can only work if you come in and partner with a senior broker or if you are very well connected and can get lots of referrals.

Business Outlook

Pros

UBS had a welcoming culture when I first joined. Colleagues were friendly, nice and helpful. Culture is less competitive as compared to other financial institutions.

Cons

Slow career advancement due to flat hierachy system within UBS. Poor/minimal bonus from 2008 onwards due to the bad performance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good location from NY Metro Area Not a lot of pressure No accountablity

Cons

-Salary and Comp are 20% to 30% lower than similar firms -Getting business requirements complete / understood by IT is a challenge -Technology Items that are core in other firms have to be funded by individual business owners and therefore never get funding. -Sr. IT management lacks strategy and direction -CIO barely speaks English and her people are frustrated. -Each department is run as a separate unit with no cohesion or best practices, when I moved from department to department, It is like I have a new job however, all moves are treated as lateral.
