Pros

Salary is good, hard to repeat performance year over year because you always need to be closing deals... not sure if i can maintain over long haul. They changed the incentive program right after I joined the firm...sucks...but it is noce to no have to go out club clients and drag them in the door like I did at Merrill Lynch

Cons

Support staff is focused on walk in traffic not what you need to get done any given day. CRM system means they track all of your activity, or sorry YOU have to track your activity and justify your existence every day. Big brother is watching..

-I did not know anything about finance, just had sales experience to my name and an open mind to learning and they took me in and tought me so much. -Benefits are top tier, from the basics to some that you didn't know they even existed. -They give you 8 hours a quarter for personal development. -Good pay without even including bonus or language add ons. -You will learn a LOT -

Cons

-2 year role commitment -Very corporate so might not let be your true self in the job with peers.
