Pros

There is frequent client interaction due to fund manager evaluation meetings. You get experience in many aspects ranging from excel spreadsheets, writing market commentaries, portfolio evaluation, presentation etc.

Cons

The work is routine at times and slightly political in nature. Sometimes, you feel that it is too slow and would rather work in a faster-paced environment.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
