Pros
Good Benefit package, Possible growth in professional career, Great NY location on 34ST, and Management is approachable and quite open. Excellent classroom training and supervisors tend to be quite useful. Great opportunities for people of different backgrounds.
Cons
Low base salary, high risk, mostly compensation based work, needs improvement within internal systems. There is high employee turnover, and as employees gain seniority they are at increasing risk of being laid off. There is terrible work-life balance, especially at the junior level, when employees are expected to be available 2/47. There is a lack of information sharing across the firm, and it is very difficult to change roles within the organization. Sometimes Management at all levels really gets in its own way when it comes to getting anything accomplished. Long Hours!!
