Pros

Great team work environment, talented managers and experienced director and assistant director of the valuation department. They give you all of the resources and support that you need to do your job and there is much to be learned from speaking directly with business owners and executives in different industries across the US. GE gives its employees flexibility regarding hours worked and offers a great work/life balance.

Cons

Some clients may be difficult to work with due to unrealistic value expectations because of previous communication with the sales side of GE that led to the initial engagement with the valuation department. There is the potential to move over to the deal-making side and eventually to become a managing director, which can be highly rewarding, but there is not much potential for promotion within the valuation department.

Pros

It's pretty easy to get hired because they had a very high turnover in the SBA role. The initial training was good. The break room was very nice. The office was aesthetically okay for a cube farm. The pay was competitive, the bonuses came in the form of VISA or AMEX gift cards. Friendly coworkers. If you can hang out for a year or so, you can get another business development job anywhere in town. You'll be special.

Cons

Do not miss more than your one day off during the probation period. The drudgery was expectedly relentless in that role. Most people either quit within three months to a year, or you could be "quitted" involuntarily because of market fluctuations, or if you get on the wrong side of the floor management through no fault of your own, other than they simply do not like you. You'll be put in a situation where you get mostly voicemails or unqualified prospects that should have been vetted, and you'll be terminated for not making sales through your ever-present probation periods. Expect to be on probation throughout your stay. Co-workers in other departments and upper management could be very condescending to the bottom of the company food chain, the SBAs.
