Pros

Name brand on Wall Street, sort of. Can't really think of anything else.

Cons

They want admins to be pretty, highly educated, and very smart but don't do anything to promote you within the company at all. They want you to book their expensive cars, hotels and vacations, forever. They went on a firing spree of women. Very much a 'boys club'. Women silenced, not listened to etc. The ones who are in power are NOT your friends. They make it a point to keep other women down. Still have a work related wrist injury because they had broken expense report system that caused us to have to enter and re-enter expense reports that self deleted for months on end. They refused to believe the admins that the systems weren't working and claimed that we were no entering our reports correctly. Favoritism and mean spirited HR and finance departments 80% of your job will be spent using a useless, archaic, dinosaur of an expense system so professionals can write off many, many, many expense while you pay for your lunch every day. One of the lowest paid admin positions on Wall Street. You could go out and get another job across the street for 20% more a year, easily.
