Pros

On the operations side, they offer a safe (yet low paying) job with the opportunity to move up a few levels before becoming stuck as a mid level manager.

Cons

After a year of real, professional experience, your job becomes expendable and the management knows it. With no real pay raises and a lack of respect, it becomes a depressing place to work at. Don't get fooled by their promotions and promises like I did.

Pros

The benefits package is pretty good, especially the tuition reimbursement program. If you do stick it out for the long-term, there is some but limited opportunities for career growth. Overall, a decent place to get into the financial services field.

Cons

As has been described by many others, low pay and low respect level are the big downsides. You don't do any actual finance or accounting, and the job responsibilities are menial at best. Nobody would enjoy being a fund accountant.
