Business Outlook

Pros

The exposure you are given to interesting issues and people is unparalleled. You are expected to develop quickly and show initiative, which is tremendous learning opportunity for someone new in his or her career.

Cons

There are limited mentorship opportunities and certainly no career development program. This is not the case with personal offices. It's very much an up or out culture.
