Pros

You can learn a lot about investment products and strategies. It is a good place to start a career in the field of finance but only for learning purposes.

Cons

Where to begin.. Complete disconnection between upper management and core operations Corporate politics Low pay Low employee moral Overworked, under appreciated staff White collared sweatshop environment Work balance is unbelievably unfair. -Client ops assumes the bulk of responsibility yet is paid as much as other departments that have half the responsibility and work load. Put in a few years, learn, and gain essential skills-then leave.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
