Technician (Former Employee), Somerset, NJ –
Pros: clean environment, good hours, fun co-workers
Cons: they sold the buildings to relocate
I had fun working for Merrill when they had the 3 locations in Somerset. Unfortunately, they closed up and moved to a bigger location in Hopewell. If it wasn't for the relocation, I would've never resigned.

This was a great place to start a Wall Street career. Merrill had all the resources to provide great research. The company was more bureaucratic than others, but did teach the proper way to perform research.

Very professional, high class environment. People were friendly, had senses of humor, and enjoyed their work. A few advisers there went out of their way to teach me things about investments that I likely would not have learned elsewhere.
