Cons

Job is very repetitive Very low salary for the industry, even up to the Officer level Relatively easy to get complacent within the company

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.
