The atmosphere was good
Assist Trust Administrators (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV 89134 – February 10, 2019
Hardest part of the job was having some of the responsibilities of the position switched to another location and loss of control of the work flow. Some times the personality clashes were not handled appropriately.

A equal opportunity company that provides good employee benefits and opportunies for advancement for those taking up the challenge.
Senior Systems Analyst (Former Employee) – Cook County, IL – January 24, 2019
I was fortunate enough to work with a group of very capable and responsive IT personnel whose motto was always 'How can I help?'. The attitude is 'we can do it' and many times, members worked beyond their stated hours to help when needed. Hardest challenge is prioritizing the various projects due to funding and resources as everything is always important.
Pros
Generous employee benefits
Cons
Deadlines imposed by regulatory requirements.
Flexible work enviroment
Associate Fixed Income Portfolio Manager (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 21, 2019
Northern Trust offers a flexible work environment. The people there are great to work with but the compensation is in the middle of the road vs. their peers.
Great place to work and grow.
Transmissions Monitor (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 21, 2019

Multiple positions in Banking and IT (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 17, 2019
Overall I enjoyed my years at Northern Trust. A lot of job opportunities for movement. The Salaries on are the lower side though, received a large increase in salary after leaving. There were frequent management changes however for the most part did not negatively impact my day to day job responsibilities. Few opportunities to work remotely, no company wide policy, decision left to your manager.
Pros
Benefits, Work Envoironment
Cons
low salary, no opportunity to work remotely
Excellent facilities limited location.
Commercial Lending Associate (Former Employee) – Phoenix, AZ – January 15, 2019
I highly recommend Northern Trust. Employees are treated with high regard. Pay and benefits are comparable if not slightly higher to the industry standard.
Pros
Stability in the banking industry
Management at my last role within Hedge Fund Services was lacking.
Account Manager, Sr. Consultant, Investor Services (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 15, 2019
Working hours were usually 7 am - 6 pm
Learned more about myself than anything else; what I enjoy and what I dslike
Learned alot about managerial styles; both the positives and the negatives
For all my years at NT, the team atmosphere and workplace culture was genuinely positive. However, due to managerial decisions towards the end of my career with the firm, I felt there was a lack of training for new employees
Keeping composure with deanding clients
Building relationships with your clients and receiving positive feedback from them

Racism, sexism, and the good old boys club.

Nothern Trust
Consultant (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 3, 2019
When I first worked for Northern Trust-Chicago as a consultant, the workplace culture was challenging and a very enjoyable place to be. When I returned years later, the environment has greatly changed. A huge amount of IT related work has been offshored. In many cases, employee benefits are being slashed and many employees are just hoping to make it to retirement. Scary place to work.
secure
Senior Consultant - Hedge Fund Services (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 28, 2018
one of the big positives of working at northern trust is the job security. depending on the department you are in you can be in the steady 9-5 if that is what you are looking for good place.

Tax Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 20, 2018
I love the culture of the company, it has been great working there. I am just ready for something else. the position that I am in there is no advancement. I would like to advance in my job.

Nice place to work
Consultant - New Business (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 17, 2018
Great benefits, and surrounded by professional and enjoyable colleagues. The open floor plan leads to great collaboration and sharing of ideas for bettering the experience for internal and external clients. I've not worked for a company that promotes community involvement and engagement as much as Northern.
Pros
vacation time off
Cons
compensation
Great company but compensation needs to be more appropriate
Vice President (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – December 12, 2018
The company is known for its excellence in client services, which is true. The employees consistently go above and beyond to make sure the clients are happy. The company itself has a great work life balance, where a typical workday starts at 8:30/9 and ends around 5/5:30 (as many employees have children to tend to). However, with the phenomenal growth that the company has experienced lately, It would be more appropriate to have larger incentive bonuses paid out. Other banks and financial services companies pay out 2-3X what Northern Trust does. Now, money doesn't always translate to having a great experience with a company, however the company ends up losing great staff as employees on your team search externally with competitors for those attractive compensation packages. Typical excellent workers need to be paid 40-50% of their base salary as their yearly bonus to keep them attached to the company for the long run.
Cons
compensation
