Pros

It is a simple job and everybody is kind and helpful. The management isn't tough on you about time off.

Cons

The pay is low and the level of responsibility is poor. The work is somewhat monotonous and can be extremely repetitive.

Pros

The company encourages you to learn. The company makes every effort for you to learn. Everyone there is very friendly.

Cons

Pretty long hours. But this should be expected for financial service firm. No other cons that I can imagine of.

Pros

very skilled coworkers, great brand name, flexibility with vacation (dependent upon your group), always looking for ways to improve, "if you're not first, you're last" mentality

Cons

long hours, for a company making around $8bn the pay isn't great, perfection is satisfactory, anything less is failure, anything more is expected...this causes lots of stress
