Pros

Location brand reputation of the company, the job in nature is always about hustling to get names get business etc

Cons

Depending on what your team culture is like. All teams ex banking can be terribly local. banking and finance has a more international mindset although the majority of the team is still made up of locals

Pros

Remote Work, Schedule Flexibility, PTO.

Cons

Communication is lacking -- direct managers don't have any information or insight into business changes, business functions outside of their own, or the pay/bonus information for their team. Pay & Benefits -- benefits have gone up significantly but we haven't had raises in at least 4 years and bonuses are unclear and inconsistent. No Growth Opportunities -- very little opportunity to progress your career. Long hours -- depending on what team you are aligned with, you may work an 8 hour day or you may work a 12+ hour day and when you are over capacity there is no help coming.
