Pros

The benefits package is pretty good, especially the tuition reimbursement program. If you do stick it out for the long-term, there is some but limited opportunities for career growth. Overall, a decent place to get into the financial services field.

Cons

As has been described by many others, low pay and low respect level are the big downsides. You don't do any actual finance or accounting, and the job responsibilities are menial at best. Nobody would enjoy being a fund accountant.

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

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
