Pros

Out of college, the Research Associate position can be a great first job. Decent pay ($40K), and great, young colleagues. Decent benefits and 401k matching. Growing company with opportunities to move up, however, there are caveats (see cons) Once a quarter or so you get a free ticket to a baseball game with $20 to spend as well.

Cons

Monotonous work. Many managers are inexperienced and overbearing. Upper management is out of touch with best research practices and they constantly try to drive the processes that are used by the researchers instead of results that are achieved. Even if you are promoted, you you are still undervalued/under paid and overworked. And the opportunity to move up again is many years off. I can't imagine staying at this company for the years required to move up vertically 2 steps. Broken metrics system which does not reward the researchers who actually provide the most value to clients.

Pros

Good business model. You meet some exceptional people and learn a lot about the real estate industry. The company provides great benefits to working there - health care, decent salary, verizon center tickets, healthy food, paid public transport in the DC metro area.

Cons

The work can get redundant. Depending on what market you are assigned to, the work can vary from very easy to very challenging.
