Pros
- You can completely stop working at your scheduled finish time for the day. - Diverse workforce in every way possible (as good as this may be, the consequences are shared below) - Good benefits
Cons
If you are a recent grad or looking to progress in your career, you have more sensible options elsewhere. If you really need work experience, have an exit plan in case you join a team like mine. I state this first so that you will not have to waste valuable time that could have been invested in professional development at a firm that actually promotes that. Cons: - a theme of harboring incompetent employees and blatantly protecting them when they commit errors by pointing fingers at the new representatives (you must tolerate this treatment in order to comply with their 'diversity & inclusion' initiatives) - harboring technically incompetent employees for the sake of 'diversity & inclusion' (Does this even make sense at a firm that deals with people's money?) - definitely the lowest pay in the industry, but this may justify the "hire all then lay off all" nature of this institution - annual layoff season(s)...literally. And anyone regardless of tenure could be "chopped." - rampant outsourcing of roles
