One of the leading money managers in the world; great access to senior members of the firm; surrounded by successful people with diverse backgrounds and networks; excellent networking opportunity for tenured associates who build relationships with clients across various industries.

Regional offices have limited opportunities for associates - senior positions only created within a regional office as it expands. Career moves usually require moving to NY or other larger office.

Pros

I can't think of any.

Cons

No recognition for hard work. Having to do everyone else's work because you are the best in your group and not getting fairly compensated for doing so. Senior employess get paid double or triple the amount of the competent workers because they have been here longer. Most of the competent workers leave after 1-2 years, all that remains is the dead wood. So, in essence these managers are picked from a pile that was lost its brightest to places that actually pay for hard work and leadership. Pay raises - ~3% each year. Bonus - ~4%-5%. These are horrible numbers for a company that has over 700 Billion in Assets Under Management.
