Pros
Starting pay $40k; paid, full-time, on-the-job training; entry-level; full benefits day one; highly structured, so you know what's expected of you; ample help, never leaving you wishing for more assistance or training; friendly people; plenty of room to climb and plan a lifetime career; beautiful (plain) office space which I enjoy, great view of mountains; chance to start a new career with no experience (no degree required though college study experience helpful) and get your adult life started with a great pay rate. Steady schedule (M-F 8-5) so you can leave work behind you when you go home and have balance.
Cons
Tough work; you must study and retain a lot of information that can seem tedious. I actually really enjoy it since it is rather black and white (investment type info). Job might seem boring to some (studying investments, laws, economics) and later going into a call center (boring for some but I know it's fine because after 18 months, you can transfer anywhere within company).
