Pros
Depending on the office that you are located, the morale of the office is very different. I was fortunately in Canada's top performing office. The office morale was always really high, great people to get advice from, management team was always there for support. Great stepping stone for those looking for careers in finance
Cons
Very challenging Expect you to go after your friends and family If you don't have an affluent network, or a network of people between ages 35-45, it is very difficult to hit targets. They seem to hire anyone at times because they want to get the points from head office. Some people should not have been hired. And I felt they were just used. Management has been told "recruit, recruit, recruit, fail at anything but recruiting" from head office
