      Pros

      The company provides great opportunities to learn about all aspects of the finance sector. They have great training available to their employees, and if you are willing to look promotions from lower levels into low level management come quickly.

      Cons

      In order to get into upper management it is all about who you know and where you went to school. the firm would never admit it, but if you look at the educational background of upper management 90 to 95 % are Ivy league, so if you have your eyes on upper management, and you didn't go to an ivy league school chances are slim you will get there.

      Pros

      Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

      Cons

      Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
