Pros

The hours are really light People will know the company. If you enjoy the gratification of that then it's a pro

Cons

Terrible place to start your career. Exit opps are minimal, as you do not have finance experience or real sales experience. You will have to really grind to get out, most intelligent people that got trapped here I saw it take upwards of a 12 months. People will always say you can go work for a client, never saw that happen. You will be extremely micromanaged and your metrics will be based on how many calls you make to clients and if they adopt a function. If you picture yourself calling people all day while they try to do their job to tell them there's a new feature (like right-clicking an instant message to reply directly) as a career, then you will love this job. If you would like to think independently, work in a challenging environment and use your brain a few times a day do not work here. Pay is brutal you will be servicing clients who out of school are making 1.5x you. Your coworkers will tell you that the clients job is going to be automated or is long hours and Bloomberg is a way better spot to work. Usually said coworker is just complacent or unintelligent (plenty of both around). If your options are Northwest Mutual or Bloomberg, I guess take Bloomberg.

Not really cons, culture is great.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
