Invesco

Depending on the department, Invesco is a great company to work for. Some areas allow employees to work remote a few days a week and Friday's and Monday's are generally casual dress days. The work life balance is good in most departments and the benefits are okay. The health plan is way too expensive but it covers a lot. Most employees throughout the company are driven, intelligent and work hard because they really take pride in what they do and in the company as a whole. However, in some departments - IT, Compliance, Marketing and Sales- upper management and executive managers typically pick favorites and like competition between employees. This ends up causing very toxic environments and leads to a lack of innovation and productivity. You can be successful in those areas but be cautious. Invesco grows by acquisition not by internal innovation. Each time they buy a new company the internal culture shifts to become the company acquired. Things are constantly in motion so always be aware and work hard to stay at the top of your field or you may not make it through an acquisition.  
As a warning, the Houston office is slowly shutting down so be careful where you apply. The transfer agency will likely stay but all other areas will move to Atlanta or New York over the next 2-3 years. If you take a position outside of the TA, you may be asked to relocate or you will be laid off.

This is a good position if you want to get your foot in the door in the financial/investment industry. There are plenty of opportunities to rank up in your position but it will only get you so far. They promise that you can move around the company after a year or so working there but this is a low hanging fruit. Most of the jobs posted on their internal job board are senior level positions or have no relation to the task you currently do which leaves you unqualified to even consider those jobs unless you obtain extra school/licensing. Management does not listen to employees and while they regularly send out surveys they often go ignored. There is a lot of PTO offered but during busy months, good luck obtaining a day off. Their system allows for entire months to be blocked off in advance so you’ll be forced to use your sick days if you want any sort of break/day off. The only thing that matters to them is scores/metrics. Also a lot of their systems and procedures are outdated leaving you to deal with angry customers or brokers who are frustrated with these outdated policies. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
First it is  the culture, the team spirit, making the ability to learn and  grow more possible.  It is a great company to work for  with vast opportunities to pursue and fulfill one 's 'goal and career.   I took pride working for that company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Overall, working for an Investment  company can be stressful  no matter how one looks at it.  Some tasks are easier to handle than others.  Every quarter brings  its own challenge to deal with.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Pleasant ,  respectful, team oriented.  Talented pool  of people focusing on their work and company success.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very busy and challenging.   It is never the same day.  Each one has its own demand and action to take. At the of a day work, one feels tired but happy to complete a task.

While I have enjoyed my time at Invesco, every year my overall experience with this company is brought down by the really really bad benefits.  Invesco only offers HDHP plans.  That's all.  They even don't have a decent match on HSA unless you go with the cheapest (read: highest deductible) plan. 

They take these employee surveys and never bring up anything about benefits, so providing feedback is like yelling into the abyss. 

Mangers are quite supportive, but really vary from organization to organization. 

Great work-life balance and unlimited time off (within reason) is great. Allows me to spend time with family. 

Because this company has acquired so many, long-time employees aren't great collaborators.  They don't want to share how they contribute to the organization. Maybe this is because they've had to justify their worth repeatedly. 

My experience with Invesco was unfortunately not a favorable one. After I graduated college, I landed a role with Invesco as a Network Technician on contract to full time basis. It took the company almost five years before they hired me as an employee. My tenure was not recognized when I became full time. My role also changed by incorporating the duties of three order departments. Advancement within the company came to halt and favoritism between manager and staff became rampant. My work schedule change with very little notice. I worked every shift imaginable during my 9 year tenure as a contractor and employee. Holidays, nights, weekends and all in between. My social life suffered tremendously. It became very difficult to cope with the schedule changes. My position was then outsourced after just over four years as an employee.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people are the best I’ve worked with.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Constant senior leadership changes over the past 5 years have left tech struggling to gain traction. Goals are unclear, direction feels rudderless. Moral is low. The cherry on top is the horrendous meeting culture. If you love back to back meetings, you’ll fit right on.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Culture is really good, although extremely liberal. High emphasis on employee wellbeing.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get in early to catch up on email and Teams, then it’s 4 hours of back to back meetings. Usually a meeting  reprieve For 60-90 minutes around lunchtime to get some work done, followed my more meetings.

Client services department is a frustrating position. Difficult to move up, stressful call center environment and having the wrong manager can make your life awful. Most of the managers don't like their jobs and don't care about you or anything else and the rest are on a power trip or don't know how to manage people. The company itself is great and there is a lot of potential and money to be made IF you can get out of the Client Services department, where your salary is a joke. Generous vacation/sick time and 401k match (6%) are great perks but expect to be in that department for at least 1-2 years before you even have the chance to move up. IF there is a position available, even then you are competing against a dozen other people and they typically choose those with the most seniority.

My career with Invesco started when I was invited to join 9 partners who were purchasing the business from the C&S National Bank. This was an indication of my skills and value to this group. 

I was the first person in our office to use a Computer and showed a real ability to undertake a new challenge and succeed.

I was constantly moving up the promotion ladder at Invesco due to my abilities and motivation to do whatever needed to be done to help the company succeed.

I was a very valuable employee for Invesco and worked in every position in the company including: 
Portfolio Administrator
PC Network Mgmt
Stock Trader
Graphics Design & Production
Supervisor PA Team
Global Asset Allocation Admin

INVESCO has been a part of my family since I was 11. I've had maybe 7 family members work there so this is the company that taught me what it is to be a professional.

INVESCO rewarded me several times over for being a hard worker. I was promoted many times and proved myself at every turn. 

It is not a perfect workplace by any means but looking back, the company was run better than most places I have worked. Everyone had clear duties, you knew who to talk to if you had problems. There were brown bag sessions where we learned everyone else's duties. 

We had proper, lavish holiday parties. We felt like a family there and aside from one or two people, you did not feel a cut throat mentality.  I'm still very good friends with my former coworkers.

- A typical day of work is busy, no dull moment, every minute counts; I like the flexible time
- I've learned various work responsibilities such as developing and facilitating training programs, project management, computer applications administrations, intranet site administration, etc.
- My supervisors and managers are understanding and supportive
- My co-workers are fun to be with, professionals and good team-mates
- Hardest part of my job - not really hard as everything can be learned with the help of the supervisors and team mates
- Most enjoyable part of the job - I work independently, prioritize and manage my own project with minimal supervision
- I truly enjoyed working with Invesco
