Women's Job Satisfaction (5=very satisfied)
Vice President
Bank Resource Management (Fixed Income)
January 1970
The company is fine - but when you worked on the business side, it's quite brutal for a woman. Especially one like me that's doing fertility treatments because my boss was completely not supportive. My normal hours were 7am - 6pm. When I was doing IVF, I came to work at 8 and my boss had an issue with that. Had I known how difficult this was, I would have seriously considered getting married early and having kids when I was younger. Oh and don't bother with HR - they work for the company, not for you.

Recommend to Women?
Maybe. It's wall street and I worked on the trading desk so this is really not the most women-friendly environment. I rate this a "Maybe" because I think most other places are probably the same.

Fight for yourself. Build relationships with senior management if possible.

Maybe. Depends on your boss

You can advance if you network; you can do a good job, but if you do not build relationships to draw on, you could be out of luck if objectives change and they need to make changes. Sometimes the "push" to have more women in this industry can almost create an unequal president at times - they have a way to go to make things equal. In the right group though, you will be supported and have opportunity for growth.

Client Service Representative
Contact center
January 1970
For someone who can really work under pressure, take a high volume of calls and are ok with being stuck on the same position for at least 28 months, it is a good job.They have a lot of expectations and you have to get used to the fast paced environment.

Maybe. The job is very demanding and they will require you to know things that they sometimes dont train you on. They want you to be self reliant and use your resources all the times while clients are holding and/or yelling at you while you search. They require that you stay in your position at least for 18 months.They have overtime available during holidays and tax season.As long as you are happy with being stagnant for at least 18 months and can work under pressure , it should be a good fit for you.
