Pros
-Hires anyone with a pulse -Show up, work about 40 hours a week and you'll probably be promoted within 2 years. -Fantastic benefits package rivaling anything available from any KC based company -Some good coworkers -Plenty of work life balance allowing you to make professional contacts for your next job elsewhere -Safe parking garage downtown with convenient access from the highways while avoiding all downtown traffic
Cons
-Pay (both salary and bonuses are worthless) -During poor economic times don't expect more than a 1% raise even if you are rated well above average! -Other companies don't know enough about State Street to care about your "job experience" that you will develop here -For Kansans, the extra MO taxes, parking, driving cost, etc... really eats up your income fast. Do the math before taking the job as you may make more with a KS company at a lower salary -Attached parking garage is almost $60/month now. Average lunch price in cafeteria is nearing $7. -Company has banned fans, radios, personal heaters, crock-pots on food days, coffee makers, cell phone chargers, and anything else electrical you may want to help bring life into the putty colored sea of cubicles.
