Pros

-Pays for FINRA licenses -Good benefits -SOME co-workers are very helpful and great resources to ask questions or get advice on dealing with a situation. -You gain a plethora of knowledge in terms of investing, that no doubt will be helpful in a future role or for your own knowledge.

Cons

I can't speak for the whole company, however I can speak for this department. And all I have to say for it is AVOID it at all costs. No matter who you are, you can do better. College graduates, don't get lured in by recruiters promising all this "opportunity" and all these great perks and career expansion. It's a waste of your time. I'll tell you what you really are, a person who sits in a desk for 8 hours a day taking help desk phone calls for people who are locked out of something online or need help understanding something. That's all you really are. Granted, T. Rowe Price will pay for your FINRA licensing, however, it's not like you really put it to use and I'm sure there are a thousand other companies out there that do the same where you'd have an actual job doing something meaningful. During busy seasons, they also just tack on overtime everyday without your knowledge and give you no warning of anything. Management is very questionable, favoritism is out of control, and it's just an overall toxic work environment. Start your career elsewhere, you can do so much better than what's provided here.

Pros

Total compensation is competitive, new hires are eager to jump in, and it seems like a company strategy is finally coming together. Things continue to move slowly though because projects from the loudest voice or most tenured associates tend to get prioritized and throw off critical investments into fixing data, process, and tech debt issues to mature our ability to market like it’s 2026 instead of 2016.

Cons

Too many bottlenecks to execution; If you’re seeking to make a meaningful impact, don’t expect it fast. Expect to navigate uncertainty while the company claims to help clients do this for their portfolios instead of helping associates to help clients — This is branded fluff for leadership without clear direction, driving teams to waste too much time and energy in meetings and boring demo decks every month to make being busy look like value by being the loudest voice, which is what you’ll notice many of the most tenured associates do best. Slides might look pretty but AI doesn’t make sense of this noise and clients don’t benefit from all the hours spent in PowerPoint. Unclear ownership leads to internal redundancies or team friction, on top of the inconsistent documentation and fragmented data siloes that are ironically impeding readiness for AI mandates coming from the CEO.
