Pros
This role taught me a lot about the market and the broader business landscape. The mentorship is extensive—which I appreciated, though it can occasionally feel overbearing. The experience is well-respected by future employers, they understand how challenging and demanding the role is. I built strong relationships with peers and developed true grit along the way.
Cons
Work-life balance is virtually non-existent, the role can be all-consuming. While mentorship is offered, it often comes with excessive micromanagement. Junior staff are frequently treated in a patronizing manner, and the management style can be overly aggressive. High turnover, long hours, and limited promotion opportunities make this a challenging environment. Earning commission is difficult, and when the market slows, so does the workflow.
