Pros

Great place to begin your banking / financial services career. Pay scale is as good as anywhere in the banking / financial services industry.

Cons

Training is minimal a best, this is a place where you learn on the job with very little support. Current company culture is to place unrealistic goals on its employees, then manage you and your bonus to those goals. Then at the end of the year instead of adjusting the goals to reflect actual sales, they simply increase last year’s inflated goals by another 15%. Of course every employee’s bonuses and performance reviews are based on how well you preformed to those goals. Company has huge turnover of employees. Company is in a technology blackhole.
