Pros
Good opportunity to learn a lot about various asset classes, but only if you are a self-starter. If you like stability and don't mind the cubicle lifestyle, this may be a good place for you. You can phone it in here and probably get by. Pay is average, with less upside than the street but more job security.
Cons
Don't work here if you want to climb the ladder quickly - lifers are everywhere. Underperformers are not weeded out until there's a fire, and then both good and bad are let go. It's not like MS or Goldman where it's "up or out" -- here, you will have a nice office with decent pay and benefits, but promotions take forever because there is so little turnover at the management ranks.
