Pros
Exposure to different industries and very quick exposure to executives at clients Recognition of those who work hard and spend the time to learn the business Lots of opportunities to have a mentor and to be a mentor Many free lunches/dinners
Cons
Raises are based entirely on exam progress. No raises or bonuses will be given for promotions. Work/life balance is non-existent. Working hours are dependent entirely on which clients you are randomly assigned to -- some people will have very stead workflow, others will be working at all hours of the night, weekends and holidays. If you are assigned to more demanding clients, you may be given little to no warning of when your personal plans will be overtaken by a project. Not willing to allow for rotation of business groups dependent on interest of the employee
