      Pros

      - A good name for your resume - decent starting base pay I honestly can;t think of any more postive attributes

      Cons

      - back office people are shunned - no room for lateral movement, if you show any interest in moving around they will axe you - HR is not helpful at all

      Pros

      Flexible working hours including working from home Nice people with high tolerance of mistakes Fair pay and benefits considering the work load

      Cons

      Move relatively slow due to complicated processes. Could feel trapped in circle of approvals and get nothing done. Need some serious ways of measuring performance.

      Worst Internship Ever

      Intern-finance
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good/Friendly people, Good name. Good CEO. Other than that there really is no good reason to work in back-office finance.

      Cons

      Interning in the finance division was a horrible experience. First of all, the senior people do data entry too, so there really is no room for growth. The managers aren't concerned with training people under them. The environment is so bad that they told us during our first day of orientation that we shouldn't be in the internship program if we wanted to do front-office work. Its frowned upon for back-office people to want a front-office position.
