Pros

- great benefits -hours are reasonable - the younger employees are highly motivated and intelligent

Cons

If you have any ability to get a front/middle office role at another firm pursue that. This job is dressed to try and compete with those sorts of jobs but is ultimately just a customer service help desk with very little else to offer (outside of going to sales). - management is made up of people who have been consistently mediocre and reached their position by simply sticking around - top talent is treated poorly and overworked compared to the average - micromanaged to the nth degree - every aspect of the job is measured statistically - management has so much as said that the system is designed for someone to be unable to excel in all aspects of the role. As such compensation is determined by how much your manager likes you instead of your productivity and ability - popularity contest where you are forced to "play the game" with mostly mediocre managers in order to get ahead
