Pros

It is not a bad idea to work here to get your foot in the door in the financial industry and then move elsewhere (ie. asset management, private equity).

Cons

It is a grueling job with little respect. Also, the hiring standards have gone down and it is difficult to retain the best.

Pros

Great resume booster for those in the financial/ accounting fields as the Company provides hands on experience for sophomores (though i recommend a big four accounting firm or nationwide wide bank for juniors). Interns are taught to do the exact job of full time fund accounts (albeit interns handle fewer/ less complicated funds). In addition, the Company thoroughly attempted to create open channels of communication and foster that team environment, though often times, the work is meant for individuals.

Cons

Interns were randomly assigned positions within the department without a choice or option to rotate.
