Pros

It's the same stuff everyday

Cons

They care about efficiency more than any single element that humans could encounter. If you want to live in an apartment and eat fast food, work here and get fatter. You won't be challenged to do anything remarkable besides play with money.

Cetera Financial Group Response

Thank you for the feedback and for the advice. We strive to provide a challenging and enriching environment for all of our employees and it's unfortunate that you weren't able to experience that.
