Pros

Honestly amazing, the pay is amazing, 150,000+ for an analyst, with great benefits and the ability to work from home.

Cons

Hard to beat another firm that will pay 150,000 base for junior employees. People often forget to respond or follow up in the company but just stay patient.

Pros

Honestly, the only pro is the flexible pto policy.

Cons

Morningstar hooks new grads up with this program where they keep you answering the phone on customer support for years without actually learning skills or rotating you to new roles as promised. Once you are finally able to rotate, no roles will want you because you don’t have any experience doing anything other than answering the phone for clients. And after, you don’t qualify for others companies new grad jobs. I don’t recommend this program to anyone. It is not what they advertise it to be.
