Pros

Good pays relative to the industry average

Cons

Crazy work hours; top managements are focused solely on senior analyst (VPs, EDs) and do not care about associate level analysts whether it's about work/life balance or career development/job satisfaction.

Pros

Morgan Stanley honestly was a great experience for me. The brand name helped when it came to prospecting, and the manager at my branch was very honest about what to expect in this line of work.

Cons

The hours are long, but that's how it is if you want to make it in this industry. Your schedule revolves around your clients, but that is also something that was expected when I came on board.
