Pros

Can be very independent work, doing your own thing most of the time. In Toronto, the sleeping room was interesting, and the cafe inside the building was convenient. Great building and location in Toronto.

Cons

Very rushed atmosphere and people are always stressed out. Depressing environment. Work varies but takes years and years to really understand the large company as a system. It's a very typical corporate environment and has lots of security, always warning about confidential information. Lots of meetings...way too many meetings.

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
