Pros

good entry level start, especially accounting

Cons

low pay, not professional corporate culture. People that work here have no clue about finance even though they work for financial institution. Moreover, dress like they shop at Wal-MArt ( maybe they are). If you are interested in the stock market, motivated and results driven this is NOT the place to be. Most of th epeople are here because they need a job not a career.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
