Pros

Relatively young group of people in the FA and SFA levels, depending on the group you work in, you'll either love your boss and what you do or you will be belittled and work till all hours of the night because either your boss has no life or they are too busy brown-nosing the floor VPs.

Cons

Like mentioned above: sr mgmt brown-nosing the VPs, potentially long hours for below average pay, haughty, know-it-all seniors, expect to be thrown under the bus every once in a while due to the lack of self-responsibility of others, crappy food, and if you don't work in KC MO, don't expect to be appreciated by corporate...same probably goes for Boston, but my group was under KC, and don't expect to get a huge bonus or a significant pay raise

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
