Great opportunity to learn and focus on something old and new to me
Payroll Representative (Former Employee), St. Petersburg, FL 33716 –
Pros: great recognition programs, annual bonus, annual increases, great department management
Cons: limited advancement, heavy traffic to and from work
Working for Raymond James was a great challenge although initially it may not have felt that way. I was only working on Payroll, but it was a national payroll with components and processes I hadn't been exposed to before. This gave me the opportunity to learn and increase my understanding of different state and local taxes as well as garnishments and – more...  other deductions. I also had the chance to learn more about the investment world and see how different products were used as well as the chance to work with people all over the country since I supported branches from California to New York. The team I worked with was excellent and was as varied as the investment products the company offered. This keep even a slow day interesting most of the time. Although opportunity to advance was limited I was always encouraged to do more and when given the chance usually I was able to surprise other departments with great work despite not having the same level of training and education. – less

Awesome place to learn & grow within financial marketing.
Marketing Intern (Former Employee), Saint Petersburg, FL –
Pros: great guidance, welcoming culture, double-lunch wednesdays, other interns
Cons: small desk
If you're not interested in pursuing a career within a financial institution or corporate culture, then this would not be the job for you. However, if your interests relate to the aforementioned, you will be most pleased with the experience and acquired knowledge.

Fast pace and meaningful job.
Office Assistant (Former Employee), Lake City, FL –
This job can be very rewarding and very stressful. Worked with wonderful, caring people. Customers were some of the sweetest people I've met. Some aspects are tedious. You must be detail oriented since this is people's money you are dealing with.

Relatively laid-back for such a large employer
Systems Analyst (Former Employee), Saint Petersburg, FL –
Pros: nice work environment, good benefits, lots to do, rare layoffs
Large IT department divided into teams that can operate fairly independently. Much diversity in personalities, so your experience will depend on your particular manager. But the company generally takes good care of its employees
