| Corporate Actions Accountant |
Salary was fair 35000 CDN. Will range from 30-35k for position, moves up with
performance. StateStreet has very good performance evaluation metrics. Salary
increase year-over-year is evaluated according to how you score. Salary
reviewed
twice a year. Overtime is paid only for hours worked over 42.5 hours a week.
Other time was accumalated for flex time-were allowed up to one flex day a
month,
plus start with 2 weeks vacation and 3 personal days a year. So, with flex
days,
it was pretty good. Although the flex policy may have been cancelled as of
December 2003. After you've worked there for 2 years, vacation goes to 3 weeks.
You get one week advance pay when you sign, and year-end bonuses have been very
generous in past, contingent on firm-wide performance, not very substantial over
last 2 years. Benefits are full-very good, whole package, dental, massages even
are partially re-imbursed, all medication that's prescribed fully reimbursed,
etc. Perks-not many. Pretty fair overall, nothing spectacularly good or bad.
They seem to be great for maternity leaves, very, very kind about that. One
year
off, paid, paternal leaves too. Overall, like I said, not bad. I think this is
true of StateStreet locations worldwide-fair packages-but nothing amazing. It
gets really, really good when you move up into senior manager positions though,
but I doubt anyone reading this is worried about that level of their career yet.
