Pros
Easy to get in the door, lots of time off, not salaried so overtime is nice
Kontras
Technology is lacking; I make less here than I did when i worked at Starbucks; no one seems to know what anyone else does which leads to slow response times and other business units getting annoyed with you; management doesn't know anything about day to day processes so the ground floor employees are pretty much on their own to learn how to fix any problems they encounter; I don't know anyone else that works in my office outside of my team; people just don't show up and the rest of the team is expected to pick up their slack; every time you think the incompetence has floored out someone finds a way to push your expectations lower; office looks like a call center; you can't listen to music or even have a conversation without a manager either giving you grief; all of the after hours career building activities take place in Boston/Quincy so if you're in Hadley, MA you're out of luck for any of the professional benefits State Street offers; consistent weekend work but the same few people are volunteered to come in time after time; little to no room for growth unless you've got a few years; jobs are being moved overseas for obvious reasons but it's just not working with the poor training and communication
