Pros
It's a job and there are benefits such as salary, healthcare, etc. If you are not interested in advancement and you are content to be an adminstrative assistant, this job is for you.
Cons
The less you know about the business, the more you get promoted. Management is intimidated by intelligence, and hires 30 yr olds to manage brokers who have been in the business 30 yrs, making it difficult for seasoned professionals to have any respect for them. It feels like a high school clique with those in the "in crowd" getting ahead, while others flounder. They could use to get rid of the extra layers of "fat" and invest in technology. The legal and compliance depts run the firm.
