Pros

-Whatever you're trying to do has probably already been done. - Whatever you don't know, someone probably does. - Name recognition.

Cons

-You're a number. -It's mostly a good-ole boys club. Good luck if you're not a white man. -Highly bureaucratic. Upward mobility takes years (and probably quitting and coming back). -Brokers are stars, everyone else is furniture. Ask how to be one, you'll get the runaround. - You're not paid what you're worth.

Pros

They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

Cons

My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
