Pros

Positive environment through interaction with mostly motivated staff and clients from the financial sector. Training was systematic and comprehensive. Good exposure to service C-level executives.

Cons

Don't expect compensation to match that of financial services. Job can get quite mundane after some time. Very little resources set aside for personal development or team building activities.
