Pros

Good work life balance. Most entry level roles less than M1/S1 work 40 hour weeks.

Cons

My manager who was an M1 had to take up a second job with Door Dash to make ends meet. My other manager who was an M1 lived with her parents because she could afford rent. More than half of my hiring class I started with left for other firms within 4 years.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
