Pros
Free coffee, to fuel the anxiety caused by sitting near your computer or phone at every waking hour. You are not waiting for anything truly urgent--just an email (or better yet a call) from a stressed out Harvard graduate. *bing* You get the notification you've been dreading. It is 7PM on a Saturday. Your boss emails you 5 minutes after the *bing*, because they are CC'ed on every email: "Are you on this?". Your boss is at a bar, drinking, because that is all they can do to drown their sorrows. When you open the email, it asks, "Are we pushing on this contact? Make this high priority, as I need a call in 3 hours. Thanks." You know that they don't mean the "thanks" part. You reluctantly open your computer, log on to the database, and email the potential contact for the 45th time this week. Surprise, no response. You scour linkedin, looking for a replacement contact that doesn't exist. 3 hours passes, and you email the consultant that the contact is unable to consult. It does not compute. They ask for you to keep pushing, since it is urgent. You email the contact for a 46th time, close your computer, and try to hold back your rage as you down a bottle of wine. It is now 10PM. Your boss emails you again,: "Can you recruit someone else and continue to push? This is a high priority client". You open your computer again, and the cycle continues.
Cons
If the above situation sounds at all pleasing to you, then take a job at GLG as a senior associate, recruiter, or anything else. Otherwise, please move back in with your parents and wait for an opportunity that allows you to either develop useful skills or live your life. I say move back in with your parents because you are invariably a fresh college grad with few to no options.
