Pros

it pays well. The experience looks good on a resume. One can get a feel for what it's like to work in the financial industry.

Cons

The company has trainers whose full-time job is to teach new hires. It seems that the company hires and fires new people on a continuous basis without giving them a chance to learn or improve on the job. The bilingual agent who arranged an interview for me at this company asked me not to mention to anyone where I was interviewing. This was most likely because a lot of people go through hiring and firing process, and the word about the company spreads. I had one week to call shadow and one week of training, after which I started answering clients' inquiries. I was laid off during my third week on the phone. I was not given a valid reason for the termination of my employment, neither was I given any useful feedback while I was working there.

Pros

great account management team. Great bosses. pension. decent benefits. managers allow flexibility.

Cons

the account managers are the only ones held accountable. other departments don't answer emails for weeks, don't do their jobs and no one in upper management cares. directly effects account managers so you get yelled at by clients and brokers a lot. don't get paid enough to do the job of the account manager and take on the other departments work.
