Pros

Solid learning experience for entry-level employees and ways to move up the ladder to greater responsibilities. Fairly relaxed work environment and helpful/kind co-workers. Company is flexible regarding working from home or time off. Good resume-builder.

Cons

Compensation is poor for analysts in comparison with similar companies. Compensation also does not increase with added responsibility. Goals and tasks from upper management are very poorly communicated, and management is far more reactive to problems than proactive. Focus is much more on the sales side and delivering a quota of numbers of work products to be sold than quality of research, which will actually retain a client vs growing new clients but losing them upon renewal due to poor quality. Management is also condescending and does not take the opinions of the team into consideration, and team members feel much more directed from the top than valued as contributors. Management also plays favorites by offering differing levels of compensation and not evenly punishing or rewarding performance across all employees (what rewards there are are few and far between, and employees often feel as if their work goes unappreciated and is just meant to fulfill a quota, further hurting quality and morale), and will sometimes claim credit for work you completed. Recent layoffs and poor direction have greatly diminished morale, and turnover has been quite high. Would not recommend whatsoever for experienced analysts/staff, as your opinions and experience are meaningless here, you will likely clash with management, and you likely will not be paid fairly for your experience.
