Pros

You learn a lot about the industry working high high-level talent; great career opportunities; 401k and health coverage, etc; fun company events

Cons

High-strung, high-stress environment; many agents seem to suffer from ego-complexes and often fail to even acknowledge their inferiors; the pay is almost criminal considering how long and hard some of these assistants work - salary increases only $1 per year until you become an agent (takes > 4 or 5 years, and less than 10% of assistants make the cut)
