Pros
Good for farming experience, which can be used to get a job at a better investment bank.
Cons
It’s a pyramid scheme… they will lure you in with the promise of making BIG MONEY if you work hard and do what they say. In reality, 99% of the work is done by 20-somethings making minimum wage (not kidding) while inner circle, the CEO and a handful of senior-level guys who have followed him around for more than a decade make 99% of the money. Employees are independent contractors, so your choices for health insurance are to spend your entire minimum wage salary on it, or go uninsured. Beyond the atrocious compensation and lack of benefits that inevitably forces everyone out the door, the CEO rules the company like his person fief, micromanaging each department through puppet department heads who simply do his bidding under the guise of autonomy. At the end of the day, the atrociously high turnover speaks for itself… there’s a good reason every department always has job advertisements up… don’t let them tell you it’s “growth.”
