      Pros

      Good place to get started in finance for 2-3 years, by putting a decent firm on your resume. After that move to better things.

      Cons

      Practically non-existing growth opportunities; non-inspiring, weak managers; dishonest leadership team. Employees get stuck performing similar tasks for years with opportunity to be challenged other than being forced to take numerous financial certifications. Associate to Principal, and Principal to MD promotion often takes several years of kissing a**. Pay is not competitive, and the management tends to use the "carrot on the stick" as in "if you suck up early years, you will get paid a lot later".

      Pros

      Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

      Cons

      Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
