Pros

They pay for your licenses/certifications.

Cons

Absolutely terrible compensation. They continually dangle the carrot in front of you with the promise of future salary and bonus increases. The salary and bonus structure is based on a convoluted algorithm that somehow shows an increase in compensation when in actuality your overall pay decreases.The hours are extremely long, and despite the high turnover rate you are expected to pick up the workload for other analyst who have left the firm. They continualy question why morale is so low, and their best remedy is to this is to offer a "jeans day" on Friday's. Ayco has relied on its upstate demographic to justify paying its employees terrible salaries, but unfortunately they are starting to see the ramifications of this via employee turnover at an alarming rate.
