Pros

Work is incredibly easy if you can stomach being a glorified secretary/call center rep. You literally sit at a desk and cold call people off LinkedIn, which is an easy way to collect a check and an easier way to lose any sense of dignity.

Cons

Terrible hours, mediocre pay/benefits, big company with a startup structure and not in a good way. Very lean corporate structure, there’s really only one job to be done (scheduling consultations for end clients), so there’s not really a ladder to climb. On the plus side, this means that once people achieve project management status they basically just send emails all day, which is relatively easy. Hours are awful, 9-6 to start moving up and you’re expected to be on call until midnight with a 10 minute response time after your first promotion. In a macro sense, these are “knowledge brokers” without proprietary rights to the information they peddle. A third tier middleman company with a mindset to boot. They also pay less than direct competitors as evident from LinkedIn. I actively warn my friends who ask about opportunities away from this company.

Pros

Good people, collegiate environment, start-up type feel Access to many contacts within the Hedge Fund, PE, Credit universe at your disposal Invaluable exposure and experience to front line interaction with the finance world. Ability to broaden industry knowledge by working though projects with clients -- those clients being large, globally recognized investment funds

Cons

Entry level pay regardless of how long you stay. Bonus comp, in their minds, is the way of keeping people around. Unfortunately, this comp scheme seems to change every quarter, which forces employees to have a negative outlook on how much effort they are putting into their day to day. Promotions don't happen often even if you're good at your job No real mentors - head of groups don't really interact with you and you'll be lucky if you're manager sticks around for more than 2 quarters People are thrown into leadership roles without any real experience and subordinates are actually the more valuable employees. You may find yourself reporting to someone who is 2-3 years younger with less experience. Very laid back - too laid back at times and people find themselves complacent and strictly collecting a paycheck
