Pros

Obtained a lot of good knowledge. Great exposure to markets, products, and large corporate firms. I also made a lot of great life long contacts.

Cons

Great if you're in the front office, terrible for the rest of the firm. Technology was terrible. Everything outsourced. The employees in India had no idea what they were doing and we spent half the time cleaning up messes they created with big clients due to communication problems,etc. I worked 60 + hours a week. I was promoted and took a pay cut to $53,000 annually since I was no longer eligible for overtime. I asked for a $2,000 raise and was told no, but they'd give me a corporate phone (which made no sense). Left the firm shortly thereafter.

Pros

Good culture if you're in the right group. Lots of work/life flexibility

Cons

Low salary and promotional opportunities are hard to come by. If you're not happy about your salary in year 1, you'll be very disappointed in year 2 as no one in our group has had an increase in 5+ years.
