Pros
Good retirement plan. Benefits are on par with other large corporations. Free subscription to the WSJ.
Cons
Base salaries are too low. Management is a complete mixed bag. Team leaders are, for the most part, useless. A young worker looking to start a career wants one of two simple things from their manager (preferably both): on the job expertise and career development. Many of the supervisors lack both of these qualities. They are overpaid when most of them just baby sit and approve time sheets. Many of the finance jobs that you would expect to get out of college are competitive and networking is a must. If you want a serious career in finance do not accept a job on the phones or in operations unless you are willing to grind away at a monotonous job that does not challenge you. These jobs are so mind-numbing that you will question why you went to college. Management will treat you like a child and micromanage when they don't even know what you do on a daily basis. There is an endless list of frustrations but my advice is that if you find yourself in one of their entry level roles, start networking on day one.
