Horrible place to work
Accounting and Reporting Analyst (Current Employee), Pittsburgh, PA – May 20, 2013
Cons: everything
No one at this company knows what's going on. Best review I've seen on BNYM was, "This is where careers go to die", this is 100% correct.

Okay Job
Client Service Representative (Current Employee), East Syracuse, NY – May 18, 2013
Pros: great work-life balance
Cons: management is a joke, advancing is next to impossible, pessimism is apparent everywhere, vastly underpaid for the responsibility.
First off, BNY Mellon is a great place to work if you have a good manager that actually wants to help you advance, but most do not. They prefer you sit in the same seat and rot for years. The compensation for what you are going to be doing is an absolute joke, and the raises are even more laughable. Even if you do advance they will give you the least – more... amount possible, which is like most companies i guess. Most of the people you will work with have been there for years and are bitter people who just like to complain and are never optimistic about anything. Basically, if you want a 9-5 job that is okay and secure then this is the place for you, but it is not a place to make a career unless you have the right connections. – less

Compensation
Team Leader (Current Employee), Pittsburgh, PA – May 18, 2013
An okay place to work but they lack in compensation and any advances made in the company only result in minimal increases. They lose their good people due to this issue and departments find themselves struggling to meet client needs while being understaffed.

Nice entry Level Job
Stock Record Specialist (Former Employee), Troy, MI – May 16, 2013
The job was a great experience. The division i was employed in was laid-off because they decided to not pursue that direction of business. Overall it was a good company to work for.

An ok place to work, management stunk in the department.
Senior Operations Associate (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 14, 2013
The job itself was great, however the management team was awful. The VP in charge of the department would come in, in a bad mood, and just go off on you for no good reason. There were a few women, who would regularly be in tears before lunch. And going to HR would only have made things worse, so we knew better than to go that route! But the job itself – more... was great. I always loved the work I did, and even when he made me cry I enjoyed my work. – less

HORRIBLE place to work CAREER MISTAKE
Fund accountant (Current Employee), Wilmington, de – May 11, 2013
Pros: everyone who applies gets the job
Cons: awful pay, no bonus, nasty management, no opportunity for advancement, no work life balance
Do not work here, extremely uncompetitive pay, no opportunity for advancement. Nearly 75% of staff are currently looking for new employment. Management is ineffective and do not care about employees. No work life balance at all. Would rather work at wawa. Very similar pay and bonus structure anyway.

One of the best places to work
Project Leader, Sr. Programmer Analyst (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 10, 2013
From managers to co-workers, it was a mix of great individuals to work with at a great place. Managers were always supportive in helping me to grow as a professional as well as looked out for me to balance work and my personal life. The competition was always to get the best product to market and everyone worked together to make that happen.

Work is not bad. Must be proficient with computer skills.
Senior Reconciliation Associate (Former Employee), Syracuse, NY – May 10, 2013
Pros: decent pay, good hours.
Cons: poor communication, ancient technology (using data systems from the late 80's), negative environment.
A typical day consists of sitting at the computer dealing with multi-million dollar wire transfers. That's about as much as I can sum it up, because no two people do the same thing each day. That also makes it difficult to ever get help if you are overloaded. Most of the co-workers I worked with hated the place, and that was not motivating at all. The – more... managers (not all, but most) do not even bother to greet you or introduce themselves to you. I worked here for 3 months and neither of the two managers who worked in my office ever introduced themselves to me. I'm a very motivated and positive person, so it was difficult for me to be in such a negative environment. – less

- The biggest thing that I've learned over the last 7 years is providing quality work and customer service to high payer clients. Being able to manage the continuous inquiries from clients is one thing that can't be taught by college professors.
